best couple face game great level night player playing taken
Let's face it, he's been a great player for a couple of years now in this league, but he's just taken his game to another level this year, where he's dominant. Right now, I think he's the best player in the world. I do. He's playing every night the same way, in traffic, five-on-five, killing penalties; he's doing everything.
season stanley successful winning
The only thing that was going to make this a successful season was winning the Stanley Cup. We didn't live up to our expectations.
against difficult guard puck
We've got two units that can put the puck in the net, so that makes it really difficult to guard against us.
kept key low pressure success worked
We've worked down low and kept the pressure on. That's been the key to our success lately.
club until
We do have another level, I think. I don't think we've showed it in a long time. We have to be a much better club from here on until the end of the year.
body excited extremely felt gave nice start
For me, I really felt it gave my body a nice rest. I feel great, and I'm extremely excited to start the year.
create focus power scoring ways
That's something we really need to focus on. Our power play's been there most nights, but five-on-five, we have to find ways to create more scoring opportunities.
consider
No, it's because we don't consider them real threats.
matter slice
That's a defenseman, no matter how you slice it. A defenseman on a breakaway is still a defenseman.
built deal excuses expect gone hard night played plenty schedule travel worked
It's another part of the schedule we have to deal with. The travel is terrible, so there's plenty of excuses built in for us, but we've gone out every night and worked hard and played the same way. I don't expect anything different in these games.
easy feels fun playing team
It's been a lot of fun, obviously, playing on this team and with this organization. Everything feels so easy right now, everything is rolling.
couple exciting fans great
It was exciting, it was great. We got up a couple of times and they scored one, and they got right back in it. They have great fans here, without a doubt. It was an exciting game.
finish good greatest playing
We're playing just good enough to lose. We've got some of the greatest goal-scorers, but we've got to finish chances.
communication guys players talk
We have no communication with other players right now. Because we haven't been able to talk to one another, we don't know if it's 50 guys, 100 guys, 150 or 200 guys who feel this way.
