crashing game good kept marty played road saves
We played a very good road game for two periods. We were all over them. Marty made some big saves that kept them in the game. If we play like that on the road, defensively and crashing the net, we'll be OK.
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.
help sees
He sees some things that really help me.
blame chances created goal mistake puck second
I made a mistake on their second goal to give the puck up on the wall. I'll take the blame for that. They created the chances and created more opportunities and they got the goals.
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.
knew questions
I knew questions were going to be asked.
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.
chances created goals
They created the chances and created more opportunities and they got the goals.
rock worse
It was rock bottom. It couldn't get any worse than that.
bad biggest coming last playoff point relief stretch though three year
It was a relief to get that one point and clinch a playoff spot. Even though this last stretch was a bad one, the biggest stretch of the year is coming up in three weeks.
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.
coaches definitely honor season year
There's not a whole lot of coaches that can say they've got 300 wins. That's definitely a big honor, especially in a season like this year where it's a 100-point season. It's big. That's big all around.
came exploded good inch quick shot
Sanderson's got a quick release, a quick shot. When he came in, he went to his forehand. I exploded over there. He shot it about an inch over my pad, a good move. He's got quick hands, a lot of speed.
