battle power
That's what we said before the game, especially on the power play - we were going to battle for all the pucks and get all the rebounds. That was the difference. That's always the difference.
I thought we could have a shot. You're always wondering. You don't know what's going to happen.
business care saw
I saw Jaromir down, so I wanted to take care of business. That's how it is. You just have to go in and do what you do.

He's a small guy and he always looks for the open spot at the front of the net. He's getting all the rebounds, so he is not afraid at all.

Today isn't a nice day for us. We lost playing against a team that played very well from the beginning. They skated so fast. We had some chances in the second period, but they won.
break close huge neutral nice stay time tried zone
I just tried to stay in the neutral zone today. I didn't want to go close to the net. It's special, every time you break some kind of record, it's always nice to be part of it. It's a huge accomplishment for him.
