dull good half period pick puck scoring second speed third throughout
We really got going in the second half of the second period and in the third period, ... We got good scoring chances, we got the puck to the net, we got our speed going. I think more and more throughout the preseason you're going to see the new NHL, where they will pick up speed and not have those dull moments.
discipline game playoffs score shut teams three
You do have to play better. In the playoffs it's going to be a different game; you're only going to score two or three a game because teams are going to shut it down. Discipline will be at a different level, so you won't get as many power-play opportunities, so we have to be better.
advantage board knew mentioned rule start year
We didn't really use that as bulletin board material. We mentioned it once at the start of the year but we knew what we had. We wanted to use the new rule interpretations to our advantage and we did that.
cheer hard honest twice work
That's never happened, to be honest with you. When that happens, you work twice as hard because you want to keep it up and give them more to cheer at.
ahead minutes thinking time year
I think that's the first time this year that for 60 minutes I was always thinking ahead a step.

He's got good hands, he finds the spots to get open. Anytime you've got that and you're willing to work hard like he is, you're going to make things happen.
adversity dressing dry faced few group knew leadership main major maturity objective people putting respond room seasons spell surprised three weeks
Our main objective as a group was to respond to any adversity that we faced all year. That's where I think our major accomplishment was, we battled injuries, we battled people putting us down, we battled a dry spell a few weeks ago. So it may have surprised other people but we knew in our dressing room that we had character, leadership - a lot more maturity than we had two, three seasons ago.
credit gone guys
Give these guys credit. They could have just gone through the motions, mailed it in. We haven't done that all year.
high move puck
He made the move to his forehand really quick, and got the puck up just high enough to get it over my pad. He executed it pretty well.
good inside knew played stress
I hadn't played in a while, and getting down, 2-0, is not a very good way to start, but I didn't stress too much about it. I knew we had something inside of us.
cheated create exciting felt front good guys hard harder invested money office paid people situation spent team wants
It was hard for a while because a lot of people spent money, invested money and felt like they got cheated a bit. Now they felt like they should give those guys (in ownership) a chance, and it has paid off. The more people that are there, the more exciting it is, the harder the team wants to work, the more the front office wants to create a good situation for the city, for the fans. So it's like a big wheel, and it makes a big difference.
help sees
He sees some things that really help me.

I can play whenever they want me to play. I told them that. I'm well rested. I looked up with about 5 minutes left and saw 38, 39 shots and had to blink for a second to make sure which side it was.
knew questions
I knew questions were going to be asked.
