I was trying to go five-hole. I tried to catch him backing up, and he made a good save.
anytime dallas drake front good guys job playing point power running seeing weight
I'm seeing a lot of minutes, a lot of power-play time. Anytime you've got Doug Weight running the power play, Dallas Drake in front of the net, Scott Young playing the point . . . that's a big factor. They know how to play the game. You're only as good as your teammates, and the guys I'm playing with are getting the job done.
best change home record year
We've done it all year at home, and just because this is the playoffs, that's not going to change. We had the best home record in the league. Why change now?

We can't hang our heads and we can't sulk. We just have to go back home, put our work boots on and get the job done.

We've got to fight for everything we get. You want to prove you can beat the teams you might face in the playoffs.

We kept it simple. The power play was huge for us tonight.

That's one thing that's easy on the family, knowing that we don't have to move to see each other. The (Predators) have been great about that.

It was one of those nights. The rebounds were there, we just didn't get them.
red worry
We're not going to worry about the Red Wings. We've got to worry about our game.

They matched our intensity, they were a tough team to play against. They were fighting, they were hitting and we really had to pick up our game in the third period.

That's why we brought in Brendan. A guy who'll add some leadership and some toughness back there.
agent couple free played playing playoff proud signed teams three traded
A couple times I've played on three teams in three months. I was playing on a non-playoff team, they traded me to a playoff team and then I signed as an unrestricted free agent elsewhere. . . . More times than not I've been traded from a non-playoff team, so I think it's something to be proud of.
fighting fights-and-fighting forced pick playing puck
They were fighting and playing hard, we were forced to pick it up in the third. We were getting the puck to the net, but not capitalizing on the rebounds.
couple game gave penalty proved stay
I think we proved we can play five-on-five with them and we really had the game under control. But then we gave them that five-on-three and they get a couple power-play goals. We have to stay out of the penalty box.
