again change devils games hopeful people types
We got back to the old Devils that everyone wanted to change in hockey. People said they didn't want these types of games anymore. Now we are doing it again, and I'm just hopeful we'll do it again when it counts.
certain expect extent good guess okay people second walk
It was an okay game. I know in (this round) people expect us to walk through everybody, and I guess we did to a certain extent in the second period, but we had a pretty good vibe, did well on the power-play.
almost arrived bus flip japanese people took walk wayne
It was crazy. There were Japanese people all over him. It was unbelievable. When we arrived in Tokyo, they didn't think about it. They didn't think we were going to come in and people would flip out for Wayne Gretzky. Shayne Corson almost took him on his back and had to walk him to the bus because people were all over him. He couldn't do anything.
defense hockey ice people playing position red relying similar somewhat
There's a lot of defense to our games. I think we're able to play somewhat of a trap. We are able to funnel people on the ice to where we want them to be, to where we think we will be able to defend. It's similar to a trap, but we are playing it a little differently than before because there is no red line. We are relying more on position hockey than anything.
answer asking brush compete funny great highest highlight lives move olympics opportunity people playing standard time waste
I think it's funny that we have to answer these things (about Gretzky). After all, the highlight of our lives is playing in the Olympics right now. It's a great opportunity to compete at the highest standard of hockey. So for people to waste their time asking these questions, we just brush them off and move on.
glamour hand people puck taking talk
People like the glamour and the glamour with Scotty is his hits. That's what they remember. They don't want to talk about him taking the puck away from Jaromir Jagr with one hand or anything like that.
best deal gentleman means people team true
If he doesn't go, people will say that means it's true and that's why he' not going. So, how do you deal with it? He's always been a gentleman about everything and he's always going to put what's best for the team first, so I don't think this is going to be any different.
bogus concern gonna great guys people time
The distractions that people think we're gonna have, that's bogus for most of the guys on the team. This is such a great time for all of us. It doesn't concern me or any of my teammates.
against game step took trying winning
We are trying to get better every game. We took a step by winning an important game against a big rival.
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.
fortunate help played saves time win
I've played enough in the NHL to know most of these guys. Most of the time I know their tendencies. I've been lucky. I've been fortunate to make some saves and help us win some games.
fans good italian knew matter saw time tough
It was tough to get going right away and I think you saw that. It (the Italian goal) was good for the fans and they got excited. But we knew it was just a matter of time before we would score.
dominate games nice
These were big games for us. It's nice to see us dominate them.
against definitely nights team
These nights are going to happen. It's definitely disappointing to do that against a team like that, but that's the way it is.
