enjoy feeling few games good medal next olympics playing time
We have to enjoy our time right now. The next Olympics are going to be 2010. We've got a few more games left, and it's a good feeling to be playing for a medal and be in the semifinals.
champions cup good learn stanley teams
We have to learn from this. They showed why they were the Stanley Cup Champions two years ago. Good teams never quit.
age closer earn elite good guys job prove spot step themselves
One thing that's good now is the young guys are going to have to earn their spot in the lineup. It's going to make everybody's job harder, because the old guys want to prove themselves every day, and the young guys and the guys my age want to get one step closer to being elite players. That's a good mix.
feels game good pull
This was the kind of game we used to lose. It feels good to pull it out.
florida good home people seen since south
It's good to go home and play, ... because it's been a while since people in South Florida have seen hockey.
games good win worry
It's good to get the two points. We can't worry about other teams. There's 14 games left, and if we win all 14, who knows? Is it going to be enough? It's not up to us.
good losing newspaper numbers rough streak
It's been a rough month. You read every day in the newspaper and see the numbers to see what the losing streak is. It's over now. It's a good feeling.
believes everybody feeling gone good guys season team
It's just so much a different feeling this year. We've become a good team as the season has gone along, and everybody believes we can still get to the playoffs. The guys really believe in each other.
call club good hard nights record single
It was a wake-up call for us tonight, definitely. We can't take nights off. We have to play hard every single night. And we didn't do it. We have a good record at home. But we have to be a lot better. I have to give them credit. They're a lot better club than their record.
good
We didn't play well tonight. (Goalie Roberto Luongo) had a good game, but overall, we were a little sloppy.
again came crossed goal good guys leave looking mind registered signings single stanley summer teammates win won
A lot of things came into play and I was looking at the big picture. The teammates I have here were a big part of it. Without my teammates, I would not have scored a single goal or registered a point. We made some really good signings in the summer and with the young guys we will keep improving. If you look at your lineup, there are guys that have won and again can win a Stanley Cup. It never crossed my mind to leave this team.
capable early few good level looked obviously past played single team weeks
Our lineup looked pretty good early in the year, but obviously we haven't played at the level we're capable of doing. The past few weeks we've been the team we should have been every single night.
good
If it was my call, there wouldn't be shootouts. It has more to do with pee-wee hockey; it's good for kids.
gives good start won
For our country, it was a big win. It gives us some confidence. It's a good thing that we won our group, but when the quarterfinals start that's when it all matters.
