hype bugs doe
The hype that follows me doesn't bug me. I expect more out of myself than anyone else does, that's for sure.
night games goal
My goal is to be at the top of my game every night.
girlfriend hard-work successful
I was 13 or 14 and I met Donald Trump at a bar mitzvah of a good friend of ours, who's friends with him. He had his girlfriend at the time with him, that Melania with him. He said, 'Hey guys, if you work hard and be successful, you'll get one of these.' I'll never forget that. And now he's married to her.
player winning what-matters
You can't always be the top player, but you can always contribute. I just want to win...that's what matters.
best understand
He's one of the best -- when you can understand what he's saying.
front knock net saying skates stick
I'm not saying they were highlight-reel goals. He skates pretty well for his size. You stick that in front of the net and you can knock in a few.
good happened longer
I'm not 100%, but I feel good. It's going to be good to get back in there and get playing. It was longer than I expected, I really didn't think when it happened that it was anything that was going to be that serious.
confident doctor early stuff year
The doctor is confident it's just a strained pectoral muscle. It's too early in the year to try to play through stuff like that.
since team
This has been Ray's team since Dom went out.
nights plays ray win
All in all, we've got to win that game. We had a lot of chances, but it just didn't want to go in for us? What did we have? Forty-six shots? Most nights when you have that many, you're going to win, especially when your goalie plays as well as Ray did (last night).
biggest playing stay time
The biggest thing now is to try and stay up all day and getting back in our time zone. But I'll be playing (tomorrow).
against game hard open
They're like us. If they get the first goal, it's hard for us to come back. They try to play us tight. We have to open the game up against them.
definitely intensity played
Murray definitely called us out. So, we played with more intensity tonight.
