finished finishing fourth goal high home last matter means nashville shot sixth three trying win
It doesn't matter to us. We want to play Nashville right now because that means we finished fourth or fifth. We're just trying to finish as high as we can. If we end up finishing sixth and we play these guys, that will be fun, too. If we win the last three games, we have a shot at home ice, so that's our goal right now. After that, it doesn't really matter if it's Nashville, Calgary, Dallas, whoever.
goal home last shot three win
If we win the last three games, we have a shot at home ice, so that's our goal right now.
came clicking composure doubt lost period power second third
The second one was big. The power play hadn't been clicking too good. It showed a lot from our team, because no doubt about it, we lost our composure in the third period (Wednesday). Today, we came out like nothing had happened.
camp expected injury last learned night prepare soon thinking
I started thinking about this camp as soon as last year's was over. Going to your first camp is tough, and the injury made it even tougher. But I learned how to prepare myself and what was expected of me. I can do all the things that are necessary. I just have to show I can do it night in and night out.

That's a bad call. They watch video just like we do, they'll see it.

It was a pretty fortunate play, but one you have to take advantage of.
both difference guys hit physical takes taking toll
It takes a toll, yeah, but I think we're taking the same toll on them. They have some guys who have been getting hit a lot, as well. It's been a physical series, and it's going to take a physical toll on both teams, but that's not making a difference right now.
coming definitely dirty guys question
It's a dirty play, no question about it. I don't know. I mean, the guy's coming right at me. I have him beat, and he kind of just drags his leg. It's definitely something you don't like guys doing.

We stuck with it. It's a good sign when you don't play your best and you win a game like this. It shows our team is maturing and finding ways to win.
