I'm sure on Thursday I'll be thinking about things, ... But at the same time, I'll be thinking about Thursday's game, too. Hockey is a big part of my life. It's brought people in my family a lot of joy.

I'm proud of the team's resilience to come back from the loss in Philly.
admit ashamed definitely easier games guys next played playing point pride time wanting win
It's definitely easier if you're in the playoffs. From that sense, this is a completely different mind-set from where you want to be. But at the same time there are a lot of guys here playing for jobs, playing for next year. At this point you're playing for pride and wanting to win as a group. But I admit we should be ashamed about some of the games we've played lately.
anytime build definitely face good hopefully nice pittsburgh regular walk
Anytime you come to play, you want to win, ... It's nice to walk away with a win. It's definitely not the same Pittsburgh Penguins we'll face in the regular season, but we did some good things that hopefully we can build off of.

enabling fan fans favorite game great guy line opens red score
You get a guy like that, he's going to score 25, 30, 35 goals. It will be interesting to see if the game opens up without the red line enabling him to use his speed. I don't know what Bonzai is going to do. He's been a fan favorite for so many years. It would be great for the fans to see him come back.
brings closest figure gets group guys hard road team trips
This is probably the closest group of guys we've had. Trips like this help, because it gets everybody, especially the guys with families, involved. It brings us together. The way our team plays, we should play as well as on the road as we do at home. It's hard to figure out.
