feelings guys needed rest took
We took the least 20 banged up guys and put them on the ice. I don't really have any feelings about it at all. We needed to rest some guys and that's what we did.
decision game guys realize role stick thrilled
He's just so important. You're always going to look at (Zach) Hamill and (Peter) Mueller and guys like that and go, 'Look at that talent, look at that skill.' You're not going to realize Mark's role is just as important. But we've been around the game long enough to know it is, so we're thrilled he made a decision to stick with it this year.
crowd maybe nervous played seems thrive
He's better nervous than comfortable. He seems to thrive on the crowd and the noise. He probably hasn't played enough yet to get comfortable, so maybe that's why he's been so good.
definitely second special
There aren't many who could have scored that second goal. He's definitely a special player.
against games kindness team typical
He was kind of like our team against Vancouver. He got points, but I don't think he had some of his better games of the year. It's typical of what we did.
gave goal god good playing seconds sharp talked thank woke
We're real happy. We talked about how good they are and how sharp we'd have to be, then we gave them a goal 15 seconds into the game. Thank God that kind of woke us up, and then we started playing pretty hard.
We'll look for the same thing we always look for,
effort found good last net number power puck scoring
You have those nights, but we haven't done anything different on the power play in the last two games. We've had the same number of scoring chances. The puck has just found its way to the back of the net lately. The good thing is the effort has been pretty consistent.
division feeling granted looking start taking title
We're not taking anything for granted at this point. Our feeling is when and if there is a division title in hand, then we can start looking ahead.
forget found game heck hockey loved next ready teams
We had our chances, they just didn't go in. It was a game between two competitive teams in a heck of a hockey series. We would have loved to have found a way to end it tonight, but we'll just have to forget it and be ready to play our next game.
act balancing division gas healthy hockey left playing proper rested tendency title winning work
Winning the division title is a significant milestone, and there is a tendency to let off the gas pedal. There isn't really anything left to play for in the standings, so it's a balancing act between getting healthy and rested and still be playing proper hockey when it comes to work habits.
exactly fun goes prolific scoring whenever
We haven't exactly been prolific scoring goals, so whenever it goes in it's fun to see.
experience good league
Our goalies were OK, ... This is their first experience in the league and they're young, and they did a good job.
fact goals hopefully hurt mean point sink
The fact that those kind of goals haven't really hurt us hasn't made the point sink in yet. When we give one up and lose, hopefully it will mean more to our guys.
