belong games nice win
We feel like we belong at this point. It's nice to here, but we have to win games to stay.
banks games memory playoff seven start starting store
I don't think it's anything we'll store away in our memory banks for any reason. I think that when you start a playoff series, it's like starting fresh. It's seven games for everything.
games good great team
They're a great team that can play some really good hockey. These are going to be two very big games for us.
games work-out let-it-go
The 2006 playoffs were such a rollercoaster for me. I was able to lean on God and know that no matter what things were going to work out the way they were meant to work out. I had that trust that allowed me to go into the games without fear. When I prayed before games, I was able to just let it go. When I played in game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals, I prayed more that day than I have my whole life. That was a day that I leaned on the Lord a lot. It helped me to face some of my fears.
prayer thinking games
First and foremost, prayer is so helpful. But I think that you need to face your fears head on. Don't avoid them or say that you're not scared. Acknowledge it and be honest about it. It's normal to get nervous about a big game or to get nervous about an important event in your life.
christian team games
Christian guys had a reputation for being soft or not being tough enough to play the game. But every chapel we've had, our team fighter has been in there. Stu Grimson is very outspoken. Dan Bylsma, the head coach at Pittsburgh, was one guy that really helped me a lot.
bad good played team win work
We're going to work hard. The good part is when we do play well, we win most of the time. We're not a bad team or anything, we just played a bad game.
community created difficult downtown impact might overstate projects retail taken tons
It's difficult to overstate the impact this has had on the community. We've taken on tons of projects in downtown that might not have been done otherwise. It's created a big spin-off of retail activities.
best hockey played
It's where you want to be. And I don't think we've played our best hockey yet.
best bounce experience good leadership series team win
It's a seven-game series and the best team is going to win it. They were better this time, and it was probably good for us. We have leadership and we have experience and we can, and will, bounce back.
credit explosive good montreal
It wasn't what we expected. You have to give Montreal credit. They are a very good team. They're an explosive team. They made the most of just about every one of their opportunities.
anyone capitalize good space
They capitalize on opportunities as good as anyone in the league. You can't give them any space, and if you do, you're going to pay.
anywhere blocked certainly finish front played power seemed start
They packed it in and played well in front of Huet. But it's not how you start a series, it's how you finish it. Nothing really seemed to go well for us, certainly not on the power play, and not anywhere else. Give their goalie credit, he blocked a lot of shots, but we never were really creative.

This is a beautiful river. It's at the top of the list of the amenities Detroit has to offer. It can be a magnet for the middle class, and even the affluent.
