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.
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.
growing guys imagined names respect sinking
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.

Any time you can get a little bit of rest it helps.
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.

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.
effort forth
We need to get back on track. We really didn't put forth the effort tonight. It was unfortunate, but it happens.
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.
