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.
consider
No, it's because we don't consider them real threats.
anytime found ice middle
Anytime you're in the middle of the ice like that, you got to let it go. I just found the hole.
behind coming games hard last three win
The last three games we were always coming from behind and it is hard to win games that way.
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.
matter slice
That's a defenseman, no matter how you slice it. A defenseman on a breakaway is still a defenseman.
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.
feeling game good playing puck single top win
Everyone's playing at the top of their game right now and we feel like we have the puck all the time. We feel like we are going to win every single night. It's a good feeling to have.
best great periods played sat
We went out and played a great first two periods, probably the best two periods of the whole series, and then we sat back on our heels, which is a no-no. It's very disappointing and shocking.
chances couple dominant fairly force minutes momentum opens period second seemed turn
You force them to take more chances and that opens up more ice. I thought for about 15 minutes in that second period we were fairly dominant and then a couple turnovers and that seemed to turn the momentum their way.
attention caught closer details dump neutral pay several stand teams zone
A lot of times we get caught by that because we play such a close-checking game. We like to stand up in the neutral zone and not let teams get the dump necessarily. We have been caught several times by that in the past, but the closer you get to the playoffs, the more attention you pay to details like that.
expect pay walk
Absolutely. I don't expect to pay for anything when I walk into that place.
best extremely guys hank hard nicest pleasure worker
Absolutely, he is. The best thing about Hank is his attitude. He's an extremely hard worker and he's one of the nicest guys you've ever met. He's just a pleasure to be around.
career deal five four games night played plenty schedule team time work
This is the first time in my career in the NHL that I've played four games in five nights. It's just another part of the schedule that we have to deal with. The travel's terrible, but there are plenty of excuses. I think this team has done the same thing every night -- work hard.
