joe known opportunity score
I've always known I could score goals. But when Joe (Thornton) came, I got the opportunity to play with him.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
guys nice reached
It was a nice feeling. Not a lot of guys have reached it so it's pretty special.
agent fans hockey school start sure
I've been working with my agent to try to get something set up. One of the things I think I'm going to start doing is a hockey school for sure because they are big hockey fans up there.
basically hockey since team uncles watched
They actually had a (men's) team that was basically made up of my uncles and my dad. I just watched them since I was a little kid. They are all hockey fanatics.
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.
looking spot
Most goalies just drop. I was looking for that spot just over his pad.
