definitely intensity played
Murray definitely called us out. So, we played with more intensity tonight.
centre crushing definitely good hinder played team top winning
It's out of your control, so it won't be crushing (if he's not picked). It will be disappointing. All you can do is go out and play. I feel good about how I've played and how the team's done. The most important thing is the team's winning and I'm the top centre on the first-place team in the league. That's what's most important. It definitely won't faze me so much that it would hinder my play.
beat cup definitely factor jealous motivating road stanley win won
Yeah. They know how to win. They won it. We're jealous of where they were two years ago, and we want to try to get there. It will be big for us on our road to try to win the Cup if we can beat the Stanley Cup champions. It's definitely a motivating factor for us.
definitely games heal miss properly slowly time
I'm slowly getting better ... it's still kind of day-by-day. It's definitely frustrating, any time you miss games it's frustrating. But the most important thing is we heal it properly and it doesn't become a reoccurring problem.
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.
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).
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.
bad game goal great hard nice people quit score
It was a big goal and we were pretty excited. We battled hard for a great comeback. People had kind of quit on us in this game and we battled back to score and it was nice to get that. Too bad we didn't score in overtime.
against florida guys nice night paid people playing price realize supposed teams took wins
It was nice to get the wins against the teams we're supposed to beat. What people don't realize is these guys are playing for their jobs. We took a night off against Florida and paid the price (in a 6-2 loss).
behind stanley trying win worried
That's all behind us. All we're worried about now is trying to win the Stanley Cup.
good hopefully injured quite rust shake
We weren't quite the same as we were before I got injured but I'll shake the rust off and hopefully we'll have a good one tonight.
close final nail team
You get a team down 3-1, you want to close it out in your own building. You want to put the final nail in the coffin.
games special teams win
Special teams are big. That's how you're going to win games down the stretch.
battle games learn win
You're going to get down in games and you have to learn to battle back to win them and we did.
