finally period playing running settled team third worried
That's what happens. We were running around. They were worried about the referees and the other team and not playing our game. We finally settled down in the third period and started playing hockey.
advantage control destiny position team trying
We can't go in trying to take any team lightly. We're in position to pretty much control our own destiny right now and we've got to take advantage of it.
anytime behind expect playoff team weekend
It's a big weekend anytime you play a team that's right behind you two times in one weekend. I do expect a playoff atmosphere.
against bottom games points teams week
Yeah, a point's good. But when you have two games in one week against the teams at the bottom of your division, you want to come out with more points than two.
beat expect playing ready seen sure team work
They've been very hot, of late. I really haven't seen them this year, so I really don't know what to expect. I'm sure they weren't playing that well (when the Penguins beat them 6-0). I expect a team that's going to work hard, be very skilled, and we've got to be ready for them.
hope pick team thoughts
Your thoughts are with him. You hope the team can pick it up.
came gotten improved played second third time
First time he came up I thought he played pretty good. The second time he came up, he'd improved a lot. I think he's even gotten better this third time. He's been a real sparkplug for us in the playoffs.
conference cut division looking sooner tomorrow work wrapped
The sooner the better. We're looking at the division and then right after that we look at the conference. We still have a lot of work cut out for us. We're looking to go out, clinch tomorrow and get the first one wrapped up. The conference is right there.
bit liked momentum win work
We'd have liked to win that first one in our own building. Get a little bit of momentum going. Unfortunately it didn't work out.
finally move night overtime power puck seem struggled
We'd struggled all night (on the power play). We seem to move the puck pretty well, we just don't get anything accomplished. Finally in overtime we get one.
feeling feels good ourselves
It feels good to be right back into it. They had us down 2-0 and we weren't feeling too good about ourselves. I think we're feeling a lot better about ourselves now.
deep definitely dug feels found guys loss puts win
It feels a lot better. It puts us right back in the series. A loss would have definitely been devastating to us, but the guys dug deep and found a way to win tonight.
along depend good left move penalty power regular rookie somebody
The good thing about Stephen is that you can move him from left to right to center. You could put him on the penalty kill. He can play a regular shift. You can play him on the power play if you have to. You know what you're going to get from him every shift. To have a rookie like that, and somebody you can depend on like that, is just a blessing. They don't come along every day.
game games pressure relieved second split win
It was a big game for us. You know you've got two games with them this weekend. A split is OK. But to get that first one is great. It relieved the pressure of having to win that second game. But we'd still like to win that second game for sure.
