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.
came cost game guys legs playing tournament underneath worst
I thought that was our worst game of the tournament. We came out flat. Guys didn't have their legs underneath them, and it cost us early. The whole tournament we were playing from behind.
behind early game normally playing start time
We got behind early in every game we lost. Every time we were playing catch-up and when you do that you start pressing. You start doing things you don't normally do and that's when things go wrong.

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.

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.
great kid playing shot success
He's playing great. The kid is doing everything really simple. (He) has a great shot and a lot of speed. That's what it is going to take to have great success in this new league.
games playing
The games keep getting more important as we keep playing them.

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.

That was a neat trick he did there, where he pretended he was going to drop his stick. It was all I could do not to break out laughing on the ice there.
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.
against coming good gotten great job team tested
We've gotten tested on a lot of nights, and this was a great test for us. Coming in here on the road, against a team that's been pretty hot, we did a really good job from our goaltending on out.

We've got some of the greatest goal-scorers who have ever played this game in our dressing room and guys that are hot this year. We've got to finish chances. It's not for lack of chances. It's just finishing.
