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.
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.
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).
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.
games good hockey lose row three winning wins
You don't want to lose three in a row to anyone. But we've got a good thing going here. We're winning hockey games and we just want to keep it going. The more wins you get, the better.
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.
behind stanley trying win worried
That's all behind us. All we're worried about now is trying to win the Stanley Cup.
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.
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).
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.
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.
