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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
since team
This has been Ray's team since Dom went out.
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.
