against excited gets good hockey nashville plays
I don't know why Shanahan plays so well against Nashville. He gets all excited because Nashville is such a good hockey team.
anybody believe knows red wants
I don't believe that. I believe he'll be a Red Wing. Basically, the way it sounds, I don't think anybody knows the whole story. I think he wants to play here.
columbus nice people
Obviously, Columbus wanted him and it's nice to be where people want you.
defense discipline feels good happens league lose next overtime time tonight win won
One of the things that happens when you win all the time is, when you lose in overtime and lose the next night, it feels like you haven't won in months. But it's unreasonable; you can't go through this league without losing. Our discipline was good tonight and our defense really managed the puck.
glad
No part of me is glad to lose,
best bring great regular
Let's be honest, we had a great regular season, and the regular season's over. It you don't bring your best game, you don't win.
looked nice
We weren't thinking, we were just kind of going, and that was nice to see. We looked like we could move.
charge coming days olympic skated start
(Thursday) we're going to compete. We've skated for two days and now we'll start to compete. We were on a charge going in (to the Olympic break), now we'd like to charge coming out.
good points
When you have 55 points at this point, you've done some good things.
expect next success supposed team veteran
We've got veteran, veteran guys. They know what they're supposed to be doing and they just do it. They expect to win. The other thing I like about this team that I like ... when we don't have success, you know we're having success the next night.
good kid looks
The Quincey kid looks like he's got a real good feel for the game.
question soon
We sagged -- no question -- as soon as they scored.
good holy howe passing played players
To be passing Gordie Howe - holy mackerel! That's unbelievable. That's how good you've been and that's how long you've played. And that's how good of players you played with.
consistent
We've been consistent all season. We've always bounced back and we've been a professional team.
