crazy exciting fortunate hockey season tickets win
(Crosby's arrival) will really revitalize hockey in Pittsburgh, back to when I was fortunate enough to win back in '91. It's pretty awesome. We've got our season tickets going crazy ... it's been pretty exciting around here.
good impression nice teammates win
It's nice to get that out of the way. You want to make a good impression on your teammates and play well. And this was an important win for us.
feeling good guys hopefully learn learning process took win
It's something where we really have to learn from this and learn the feeling of what it took to win this game. We have so many young guys that this is a learning curve. Every game's a learning process and we haven't been very good at learning. Hopefully we can take this and get better here.
piece puzzle winning
I want to be a piece of the puzzle on a winning club.
aspect brought everybody good interested people wants whatever winning
They brought in some good people that are more interested in the winning aspect of the game. Obviously, everybody wants to play, but they're going to do whatever it takes.
finding guys instead lose night start team ways winning
We're finding ways to lose instead of win. (Monday), we didn't have enough guys competing. When you play a team like this, you need everybody. We were much better the other night at home. We have to find ways to start winning these.
allowed game goals good hockey opportunity period road stronger teams third win
We had an opportunity to win the hockey game in the third period and allowed two goals right in the slot. Good road teams don't let that happen. We have to get better at a lot of things right now and we will, but that's one thing we have to get stronger at.
continue five focused games positive stay sure work
We have to continue to play like that. Five on five we were still a better team. We just have to make sure we stay positive and stay focused and work on the things that are actually costing us games right now.
chance crack exciting raise
It was very exciting for us. I get one more crack at it. That's what we play for. I just wanted a chance to get back there and raise it one more time.
kid scary
It would have been 12-0, if not for him. The kid is incredible. He's scary good.
honestly punch reach
Dumb. I honestly don't know if I could reach him, if I even wanted to punch him.
great hoping obviously ray smart talent
Ray is a very smart player. Obviously he's got great talent, and we're hoping he's able to come back and make a difference.
couple focused frustrated games goes next older responsibility saw stays
(Yesterday) was really the first day I saw him frustrated in practice. We'll see how it goes the next couple games and if need be, the older guys, that's part of our responsibility to see that he stays focused on the right things.
energy excitement
We have to play better. We're at home. We should have a lot more energy. There was no enthusiasm, there was no excitement to play.
