limit match score stingy
We know how they play, they're very stingy defensively. We're just going to have to match that. We have to limit their chances, try not to give them any odd-man chances, and score when we get the opportunities.

We got on a roll in December, and we've just been feeding on that and carrying over. We're going into the playoffs playing really good hockey, and hopefully we'll get to play Nashville.

They used to put me in front of the TV when I was just a little kid, and that's the only time I would be quiet, my mom said.
chance defense face fastest similar stop
They play a similar style. For us, we've got to get up in their face and stop them before they can get going. We're still probably the fastest team. We need to get our defense up in the play to snuff out their forwards so they don't get a chance to get out on the breaks.

You never expect to have anything like this, but this is what I worked for. This is what I spent my summer training for. I wanted to be as good as I could. ... I always liked the way (Thornton) played, and I watched him play a lot growing up, when he was in juniors. He's a great passer, and I like to shoot.

There was still an angle there. I knew he was paying attention to the other side of the net. Joe made a great pass and I basically just tried to get it on net and get it up a bit where he'd have trouble controlling it.

Kids in Moose Factory and kids around the whole area were amazed that I was playing at (the junior level).

Joe does a great job drawing double-teams and fighting off guys, and I just pick up the garbage in front. I just always play hard, and if it happens, it happens. ... It's amazing to play with him, and we're making up points against teams ahead of us in the standings.

Joe and I connect well. We have a little bit of chemistry out there. We control our own destiny in making the playoffs.

I think they've shown a lot of confidence in me and I'm confident in the team. It's pretty exciting. When they went out and got Joe Thornton, it showed they wanted to win.
