excited flow good guys rules shut
The rules are there and there is a lot more flow to the game. If we are able to play this way and not take a lot of penalties, you'll see this more and more from our team. It's not just me. All the guys are excited that we are able to shut down good teams.

That was the first thing we said today when we walked into the locker room. They spoiled our party when we were doing so well and these guys were doing well and we wanted to stick it to them the way they did to us.

You kind of wonder what's next. Maybe Lou is the right guy for the time being, to make us more accountable.

I don't think you can blame the new guys for the way we've been playing.
affecting games guys martin nobody ready rule sure teams voted
If they had 30 Martin Brodeurs out there, that rule wouldn't be there; nobody would have voted for it, ... There are just too many teams that didn't have these goalies that were ready to make sure the guys that were affecting the games weren't able to do it anymore.
expects forget guy produce wait
When you have a guy everyone expects to produce you just wait for him to explode. We can't forget about him.
beat brought game guys league level predators reason situation talent though top
To me, he's one of the top goaltenders in the league and he's a big reason why the Predators are in the situation they are right now. He beat me at the World Championship, and even though there wasn't as much talent there as there will be at the Olympics, he's brought his game to the level of guys that have been around the league for a long time.
breaks conscious guys ice key night number penalties run second starting
The number of penalties was one of the breaks of the game. Key guys were on the ice for a long time, and they were starting to run out of juice. We have to be more conscious of penalties on the second night of back-to-back games.
advantage against best buried great guys home nice ourselves played position special teams took
It was nice to have home ice advantage against these guys and we took advantage of it. The guys played well offensively, we buried some great opportunities and special teams again was a big factor. We put ourselves in a great position but we've got to make the best out of it.
chance feels game guys hopefully lake role salt
It's important that everyone feels they have a role on this team. They told me in 2002 (in Salt Lake City) I would play at least one game and I was really excited. Just to have that chance ... and hopefully these guys will feel the same way, that they'll play one game or two.
along definitely excited guys nice starting teammates three
It's definitely nice to see two of my teammates along with me in the starting lineup, ... It's something we're really excited about. ... When you see three guys on the same team at the All-Star game, it's pretty amazing.
both guys minutes played success tough
It's a different era. Both Scotties were a big part of the success of the Devils. We'd all been here for 12 or 13 years and now there is a big change. It will be tough on the ice. Those were two guys who logged a lot of minutes and played really well for us.
against excited guys regroup tomorrow weekend
This is a big weekend for us, so we've got to regroup right away. That's why you can see the guys aren't really too excited about this because we know we've got a big one tomorrow against the Rangers.
anxious camps canada chance guys nice perform summer team training transition younger
I think there was a big transition in Canada, having younger guys being part of Team Canada now. I think it's nice we had a chance to perform with each other. At least you don't come in and it's a brand-new atmosphere. Now Team Canada has been doing these pre-Olympic training camps in the summer also, where we got together. I think everybody's really anxious to see each other again.
