great puck
You have to get the puck to him, he's a great player.
great joe obviously player quite record speaks
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.
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.
against ahead amazing drawing fighting fights-and-fighting garbage great job joe pick points teams
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
finding
The puck's just been finding me in the right spots.
