against feels games good huge match playing risen scary special teams
It feels good but it's scary if we have to match up with them in the playoffs. These are always huge games for us. Playing against them, our special teams have risen to the occasion.
certainly exciting games hands instead laid minnesota neutral played puck turning type watch
That was a Minnesota (Wild) type of game, where they laid back in the neutral zone. Those aren't the most exciting games to watch and certainly not the most exciting to play. But we played into their hands at times, turning the puck over, instead of getting it deep.
absolutely game games intense
I think it makes the game more interesting for the fans. For the players, absolutely the games become more intense each time. I'd like to see more of it.
days eight everybody extremely games hockey six
It would be better for everyone. The hockey would be better. Six games in eight days is extremely difficult. But everybody is in the same boat, so you can't use that as an excuse.
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.
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.
games playing
The games keep getting more important as we keep playing them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
