behind both came chances couple doubt far few game puck ready score start teams
We were ready to play, there's no doubt about that. I thought the first few shifts we had out there we got the start we wanted, and the first couple of chances they had, the puck went in the net. Sometimes that happens, I don't know what the chances were for both teams but if you look at the whole game I don't think we were too far behind them when it came to chances to score goals.
call consistent few months sink sure
I think if they keep going like that for a few months there won't be 10 or 11 (penalties) a side. If they're just consistent and make sure they call the penalties, it's going to sink in.
came chances few good looked minutes pittsburgh points tough
Our (penalty kill) came through at the end. It looked like Pittsburgh had enough chances to get the game-winner with a few minutes left. It was a tough game. We battled hard. It was a good two points for us.
bring few franchise good hopefully last older playoffs runs sit stanley time town trying win year younger
I want to win the Stanley Cup, ... If we're going to bring in some older guys, they better be good, and if we are going to have some younger guys, we want them to be good, too, and become even better. I think it's a time and it's a franchise and a town where I don't think we can really sit back and rebuild. We have to go for it this year again, just the way we've been trying the last few years, and keep having good runs in the playoffs and hopefully get some more experience.
best certainly chance deserved few great last league players playing proven
He's been playing great all year. He certainly deserved to be in the All-Star Game. He should've been there, but he didn't get a chance to go. He's certainly been one of our best players all year. I think he's proven the last few years that he's one of the best defensemen in the league and he certainly deserved to go this year.

eye few hope obviously protect rest start weeks
I'll start off with a visor and we'll see, I hope I can use it for the rest of the year, ... But obviously I'm going to need it to protect the eye at the start here for a few weeks anyways.
ceremony few good great hopefully remember rest
Hopefully I still have a few more good years in me, but it was a great ceremony and it's something I'll remember the rest of my life.
followed four games good played puck score season stuff wherever wish
I've probably played better games this season and come out with no points. Don't get me wrong, I played a good game, but the puck followed me wherever I went. I wish I could say that I said before the game that I would score four goals, but that kind of stuff just doesn't happen.
full game last nice season
It would be nice for the last game of the season at least to have our full lineup.
golf missed played playing sick traveling
I've been back and forth, traveling a lot, nothing too exciting. I played too much golf, I'm sick of that. . . . I missed playing hockey.
help last puck stake sure three
There's so much at stake for us. We have to make sure to help out and keep the puck out of our net. We've done that a lot better the last three games.
athlete chance fortunate good medals olympics tremendous
There's a good chance this will be my last. But I feel very fortunate to have a chance to play for medals in this tournament. For any athlete having a chance to be at an Olympics is such a tremendous opportunity.
beat concern games january teams
There's so many games left, our only concern is our own play. We know we can play better than we did in January (3-9-2) and we can beat the teams we need to beat to make it in (the playoffs).
