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.
bigger elevate people physically picked stronger team
I'm stronger physically and I think stronger mentally, too. I'm bigger than people think because I'm not too physical normally. But, in the playoffs, you have to elevate your game. You play the same team so often, you'll get picked on if you don't.
biggest deep marty missed team trade
It's the biggest pick-up after the trade deadline, in my opinion. We've missed him the whole time. We're already a pretty deep team ? when you get Marty back, it's going to be great.
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.
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).
good hockey snap team
We're going to snap out of it. It's not something we're in for the long haul. We've just got too good a hockey team here.
games special teams win
Special teams are big. That's how you're going to win games down the stretch.
coming deep expect favorite high knew order ourselves pace stanley talent team wins
I think with the talent we have, we knew we were a deep team, we knew we were a favorite coming into the year, we had high expectations for ourselves and we still do. We expect to keep this pace going. We know in order to be a team that wins the Stanley Cup, you have to be consistent.
team thinking guy
If I ever have a chance to become a top-notch guy on a top team, I think that's more valuable than anything else.
since team
This has been Ray's team since Dom went out.
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.
bug great people talk
It doesn't bug us at all that people talk about us as a contender. We know we have a great team, and we know we have to go out and show it.
confidence good matter ready time win winning year
It doesn't matter what time of year it is, we want to win games. That's good for our confidence to keep winning games. We want to be ready for the (regular) season.
audition game good hockey left playing realize season sort time until
We have to realize we're not playing good hockey right now. But we still have one game left until the audition is over and the real season begins. We still have a little time to sort things out.
