both played seem
Both goalies seem to be in the right place at the right time. He played really well.
freak game gave goal held played second smart solid took
We played a solid 60 minutes. In the second we took over the game and gave up a freak goal but we played smart and held the lead.
last played
I don't think we played the same way we did last week.
finally goal hockey minutes played score shut solid
Finally we were able to score the power-play goal and get a lead. Then, we played solid hockey for 60 minutes and shut them down.
deserve great played
It's very disappointing. I think we played just a great tournament, so many big games, and I thought we deserve this.
against close credit games played
It was a big two points. You have to give credit to Washington. They played really hard. Somehow, we've been able to find a way in close games against them.
against canada hard played similar soviet summit time union
It's hard to put into words. It's pretty similar to when Canada and the Soviet Union played the Summit Series. It's like that every time for us against them.
guess played point satisfied
It was a must-win for us, obviously. I guess we have to be satisfied - we played .500. But at this point in the year, it's not going to be enough for us.
cost mistakes played
It's a disappointing way to lose. We played pretty solid, but mistakes cost us.
bit finally lucky played puck
A little bit of a lucky bounce, but I'll take it. Finally a puck bounces our way. But we played pretty well tonight.
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.
doctor five games last played saying
I played the last five games (with the injury) and the doctor was saying I could take the last game off, but there was no reason.
center played three work
They haven't told me anything, ... If they tell you you have to play (defense) you have to play 'D.' But I've been a center for three years here. When I first got here, I played wing, but it didn't really work out. But it's the coach's decision.
happy hockey minutes played proven test
He's a proven goalie in Europe, but we played 50 minutes of hockey and had 13 shots. We can't give him credit. He's probably happy he got his first shutout in the NHL, but we made him look good. We really didn't test that guy.
