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.
opinion ourselves seed
I'm of the opinion that we didn't play well enough to win. We didn't play like the No.1 seed for this whole series. We put ourselves in this position, that's the unfortunate thing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
bottom line
The bottom line is we didn't live up to our expectations.
espn highlights life turn
That's what you're going to see when you turn on ESPN highlights every night, ... Or the OLN (Outdoor Life Network) highlights.
clean fun good pulling
That's great. These guys, they've been bugging me all year. It's all in good clean fun. Just as long as they are pulling for me in the Olympics.
buried fastest goal great history pipe player stepped team walked
That's got to be the fastest goal scored by a new player on a new team in history. He stepped on the ice, walked right down the pipe and buried it. That was a great start.
