bite maybe time trying
He was just trying to get the goalie to maybe bite a little on his move. He froze him enough to give me time to put it upstairs.
draws fighting front garbage great ice job pick sees soft spot
He draws a lot of double-teams, and he sees the ice so well. Basically, all you have to do is find a soft spot in the ice. He does a great job fighting off guys, and I just pick up the garbage in front of the net.
assist connect dove gotten net nice seemed since
He dove into the net for it. It was pretty cool. We've just seemed to connect since he's gotten here. It was nice for him to get an assist on it, too.
matter
It doesn't really matter how many, just as long as they go in and we win.
looking spot
Most goalies just drop. I was looking for that spot just over his pad.
confidence confident joe shown
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.
cleveland good helped shows time tough
I think the time in Cleveland helped him. It's tough to play there. It's a good development league, but it shows you what you have to do to get here.
ahead best great lucky players since watched
He's a great player. I've watched him since '94, I guess. He's always been one of the best players in the league, so I got lucky to get ahead of him.
calls ourselves position taking
We were undisciplined. The calls were pretty much one-sided, but we put ourselves in that position by taking those penalties.
anytime crowd gets gives heels jump kinda
That was nice. Anytime you can get and jump on them right away, and get a lead, kinda gets them back on their heels and gives us some momentum, and gets the crowd into it.
came dropped knew position shoot shooting trying
I came in, trying to set myself up so I could shoot at any time. I got into shooting position and he dropped down pretty early, so I knew I just had to get it upstairs.
control couple everybody gets good pressure spend sustained time
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.
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.
