good people surround
You have to have good people around you to make something like this happen. I just surround myself with good people.
confidence good minutes period playing third
We've been playing like that for a long time. We have a lot of confidence and a lot of poise. That third period we just dominated, it was a good 60 minutes tonight.
again game good since talking
We've been talking about that a lot since Game 1. The PK got it done again (Tuesday) and it was good to see.
feeling forced good guys nice plenty
We just forced their defense. We were just all over them. It's nice to see plenty of goals. Guys are feeling good right now.
good knew problem traded
When I got traded here, I knew it wasn't going to be a problem and nothing has changed. We're 1-A and 1-B lines. I can't say enough good things about him.
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.
bear close door game good great learn minutes played seems start until
I thought we played 55 minutes of great hockey. We've got to learn to close the door when we get a chance. We say it, it seems like every game now. Until we start learning, we really need to bear down. It just wasn't good enough tonight.
couple good job kicking
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.
clicking fought good minute power ran time
Our power play was clicking pretty good there, and unfortunately we couldn't get another minute there on the clock. We competed, fought back, but time just ran out.
goal good played pop power
We thought we played real good 5-on-5, and if we can pop another goal on the power play we'll be fine.
field good guys lined
He's a good leader. He's a real good field general, getting the guys lined up.
good puck shoots
He just shoots the puck so well. I can't say enough good things about him.
feelings good last played start team towards year
With them being the last team we played against, we don't have too many good feelings for them, and they probably don't have too many good feelings towards us. They're our number-one rival; it's a good way to start the year off.
against boston chemistry dangerous expect few finding game glenn good holes knew looks maybe playing quick realize san seeing sure trying tv
I wasn't sure what to expect when I got traded. Not playing against San Jose much and only seeing him on TV a few times, I didn't realize how good and quick and dangerous he is at finding those holes a passer always looks for when he's trying to find a goal-scorer. After the first game or two, I knew we had that kind of chemistry I had with Glenn Murray for so many years in Boston . Maybe better.
