both great played saves
Both goaltenders made great saves in the game, Dom just made more. From where I was standing, he was the difference. I thought he played great. He made great saves.
both good league six taking teams
We've had six (penalties) both nights, which I think is very good under the new terms. You look around the league there's been 12, 14. Teams are taking that many penalties, and we don't want to be in that category.

Danny and Chris were chosen for what they mean to the team, on and off the ice. Both guys show tremendous leadership and determination that will help lead our club.

We want to keep them both ready, but it's a tough situation going into the playoffs trying to play both.
both chips exceed expect fall hit physical talking teams using
They're probably talking about the hit and using the hit as motivation. I expect both teams to be physical ... we're up for every challenge. At the end of the game, our will has to exceed their will and the chips are going to fall where they may.
beat both ended front huge marty puck pushed ryan screen shot sound
I thought both of them were very good. I thought Marty had a very sound game, made a lot of big saves. Ryan had one screen shot beat him that he didn't see at all, and then a huge scrum in front of the net, where the puck ended up getting pushed over. He was very good.
body both returned
J.P. returned but he has significant upper body discomfort. Both refs said they didn't see it.
both habits passionate player practice question tremendous workout
He's going to be a tremendous asset. He's well-respected. He's passionate about the game. From his practice habits to his workout habits to his preparation for the game, both on the ice and off the ice, no player can question his opinion.
win
We just play to win games. If that's Marty, then it'll be Marty. If it's Ryan, then it'll be Ryan.
missed
We missed too many opportunities. We didn't convert.
continue energy grind level team
We have to continue to grind away. The energy level of our team isn't great. We're mucking through it.
against chances dominated few gave maybe third won
We got scored against on the few chances we gave up. We only got scored against because maybe we were too aggressive. That same aggressiveness won us the game. We dominated the third period, gave up one shot, and we didn't look back.
expected expects good nobody
We expected to be a good team, but nobody expects something like this.
