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.
bit felt good looked pass position react shot somebody turn until
When he got the pass, he kind of looked right away to see if somebody was open. He never looked at me until he shot the puck. I felt like I was in good enough position to be able to turn my body just a little bit to react to a pass and he just snuck it right through me.
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.
guys harder position system works
I think it's going to get harder and hard to do. I was in the position to be able to do it. I don't think too many guys are going to be able to do that with the different way the system works now.
definitely good last position rangers team toughest whether win
The last win is always the toughest win. Whether it's the Rangers or any other team, it's tough to put a team away and we are definitely in good position to do that.
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.
against beat looking points senators team teams
The Senators are a team we are looking up at in the standings. They beat a lot of teams in our division. Any points we get against them is a plus.
bothered choice given ken
It would have bothered me to see Ken Daneyko's number, or Scott Stevens' given out. But Nieder made his own choice to leave.
early good held performance sat worst
The worst thing for us was probably getting the early lead. We sat back after that, but in the end we held on and got a good performance out of our guys.
