bit rest time
Any time you can get a little bit of rest it helps.
angle attention basically bit great joe knew net pass paying side tried trouble
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.
bit chemistry connect control destiny joe
Joe and I connect well. We have a little bit of chemistry out there. We control our own destiny in making the playoffs.

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.
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.
everybody foot guess hit knew looked
I knew it hit my foot and I looked down at my skate. Everybody started celebrating so I knew something happened. I guess you get one of those every once in a while.

I never really imagined it, but it's amazing. A lot of guys who I have a lot of respect for when I was growing up have got their names on that trophy. It's still sinking in.

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.

It was one of our best efforts. We've struggled in the last four or five games so it was nice to come back like this.

I wanted to put myself in a position where he'd make the first move.
coming difficult early flat guys hard lead nice ourselves third
They battled hard after coming out flat in the first period. We jumped out to an early lead but we started to make it too difficult on ourselves and they got right back into it. It was nice to get that third one to get the guys going again.
guys hard knew missing older
They were missing some guys and they have older players, too, so we knew we had to come out hard and take it to them.
finding
The puck's just been finding me in the right spots.
haul legs
We got our legs moving. Everyone started skating. You do that they've got to haul you down every once in a while.
