deep defense everybody good puck slower smaller stuck
We wanted to get the puck in deep because their defense is a little slower and smaller than they have been in the past. Everybody stuck to it and we got a good effort.
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.
carrying feeding good hopefully playing playoffs roll
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.
coming contribute expected good side
It's a good thing. I was pretty excited. I never expected anything like this coming in. I just wanted to be at this level, contribute and anything I get on the side is just a bonus.
expect good great growing liked spent summer training watched worked
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.
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.
few maybe ourselves penalties putting time took
We weren't very disciplined; (we) took a few penalties maybe we shouldn't (have). It was pretty one-sided, the (penalty) calling, but at the same time we were putting ourselves in that position.
contribute expected finding luckily net
To get that many goals, I never expected that. I just wanted to contribute to the team's success, and luckily I've just been finding the back of the net this year.

You have to get the puck to him, he's a great player.
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.
body face few guys hopefully move send shots start staying top
We're going to try to send a few guys in there and try to get in his face so he has to move back in the net. He's challenging a lot of shots right now, staying up in the top of the crease. You get a body in there to try to move him back ... and hopefully things will start to go in.
effort forth
We need to get back on track. We really didn't put forth the effort tonight. It was unfortunate, but it happens.
finding
The puck's just been finding me in the right spots.

Obviously our record speaks for itself, the numbers. It's been quite a turnaround. It's great to have a player like Joe on the line.
