enthusiasm fans great ice man sixth
That was great. Our fans have such great enthusiasm. They're the sixth man on the ice for us. It's an intimidation factor.
ability says shots style
That says a lot about our style and our ability to put that many shots on goal.
asked stood time took until
I was a goalie for a long time and I stood in there and took my lumps until I was asked to get out of the net.
awful cards detroit dig john means might red
He means an awful lot to the Detroit Red Wings. I might dig out some old cards and get him to put his John Hancock on a few.
games grown matured nice reward team
Huge. This is a relief. This is excitement. It's just a culmination of 72 games that this team has just grown and matured so much. What a nice reward we got tonight.
against chance gave good handful hard saves shots stopped three
He was solid. When you only have three shots against you in one period, it can be hard on you mentally. I thought he gave us a chance to win. He stopped everything he should have stopped and he made a handful of good saves to keep us in the game.
couple
He did not look out of place at all. I think he scored at least a couple on me.
deserve game held hockey maybe
He held us in a hockey game that maybe we did not deserve to be in.
behind believed doubted ourselves points
When we were 12 points behind Wheeling, we never doubted ourselves and always believed we could do it.
club great hockey last minutes proud smart
What a great effort. It was a smart 60 minutes of hockey. I couldn't be more proud of this hockey club over the last two games.
lead rules safe season
With the new rules this season and our inconsistency, a two or three-goal lead isn't a safe lead by any means.
care fate hold keeping looking weekend
We were looking at this weekend as keeping pace, more so than making hay. We have to take care of our own business. We hold our fate in our hands.
five good minutes
We'd play for five minutes and be off for 15. It wasn't good for the guys.
advantage banner building hang home ice secure
To hang another banner in this building would be nice. But, more importantly, we can secure home ice advantage through at least the first two rounds.
