against boston chemistry dangerous expect few finding game glenn good holes knew looks maybe playing quick realize san seeing sure trying tv

It feels fine. It's just tougher to get up. But it feels great.
boys felt good nice penalty stay team
I think if we just stay out of the penalty box, we have a good team five-on-five. I felt comfortable. It was just nice to be on the ice with the boys again.

We just came out flat, that's all it was. We had a good third period, but the first two were not so good.

We played hard, but there were too many fumbles.

Judson's a great kid. I'm real pleased with him.

Judson made some good decisions. Davin made a couple big plays, some big catches. He also did a good job punting and kicking for us.

We've done it all year long, we never give up and just keep coming back.

We've done everything together this year. We've got bigger and better things to do now that we're looking forward to the Stanley Cup playoffs.
We've done everything together, so it's gratifying. And we'd be the first to tell you those are team-oriented awards.

We thought we played real good 5-on-5, and if we can pop another goal on the power play we'll be fine.

He's a good leader. He's a real good field general, getting the guys lined up.
