It's a hockey-rich town there, and everybody lives hockey. When they go hunting now they even take a generator, a TV and a satellite dish out there so they can watch the playoff games.

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.

It's pretty frustrating. We're trying to get the ship righted.
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.
advantage both chances penalties special teams took
There were a lot of penalties out there, so there were a lot of chances for special teams. Both teams just took advantage of it.

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.

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.
bit came flat intensity last matched nice physically played road solid time
The last time we played them we came out a little bit flat and they played a really good, solid road game. So it's nice to come in here and to the same thing to them. I think we matched them a little bit better physically than we did at home, and we matched their intensity for the whole game.

I've gotten used to it and embraced it. Now it's something that I kind of take pride in and I enjoy speaking to the kids.

The first couple of shifts we sustained pressure in their end, and had good control. When you spend that much time in their end, I think everybody gets a little more energized.
