Obviously, you remember what happen because this was the makeup game. Everybody knows Jiri is all right now, and we're glad he's OK. Everybody tries to put it in the back of their minds, but I'm sure some guys though about it.
Playing with Stevie, he might not be able to do as much as he could back in the day when he could skate a lot better, but there's a reason he's one of the greatest. He's so smart and he makes those right plays and it makes it easy for a guy like me to play with him.
We let those guys get back in the game a little bit. We have to play together for 48 minutes.
I have to be ready to take them (jumpers) when I'm open and when those guys double Shaq, he kicks it out and I take the shot.
It just made me feel so good, knowing that these guys down here wanted me to come here and Shaq wanted me to play with him.
They've just gotten better and better every year. They've drafted real well, and those young guys are developing into good players.
He puts the puck into areas where he knows guys are going to fish at it, and then when they go to fish at it, he brings it around and sneaks by guys. He uses his body well to protect the puck and then he rolls off of guys very well, makes tight turns, and takes it to the net. That creates a lot of room for other guys on his line, because if you beat a guy towards the net, sometimes another guy is going to challenge, and once that guy challenges, something else opens up.
We've got to come out and play hard and get wins where we can.
We're glad we have another chance to play. We think we should have gotten a little higher seed. We didn't. We just have to go out and enjoy it and have fun. Maybe this is finally a chance for us to get a little respect.
We feel like we can not just get there to the finals. We feel like we can get there and win it.
Every day it seems like it's changing. Everybody seems to be checking the standings a little closer. The next day, we're playing a totally different team. But it's a race and we want to make sure that we're taking care of business on our side.
You cannot fix the problem of families fleeing the city by taxing them more.
We've played well on the road all year. We've been playing really well on the road all year. I don't think we're going to panic.
UAB came out pressing us, and we spent a lot of time in practice on our press breaker. The first time we took care of the basketball. That's what we have to do this time.
