early extra huge lose point year
Early in the year we find a way to lose those (one-goal) games. Lately, we've been able to get that extra point. Every point is huge for us. It was a big win.
points throwing
We need points right now, and we can't keep throwing them away.
needed otherwise points wasted
We needed two points. Otherwise this would be a wasted trip. If we didn't get the two points we'd feel even more guilty.
points
Without him (Luongo), we wouldn't have any points tonight.
obviously otherwise penalty point
It's no point to be frustrated. Obviously if you're going to play under the rules, you have to get used to the rules. Otherwise you're going to be in the penalty box.
fun hunt playoff points time year
It's a lot more fun to be in the playoff hunt than out of it. This time of year we've usually been 10-12 points out.
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.
fighting huge last point three weeks win
We're fighting for our lives. The last two or three weeks we've been able to win some games. Every point is huge for us.
finding game last lately points win
We'd like to have those two points now, but we won't look back. We've been finding a way to win lately and we've got another must-win game tonight. It's been the same story for the last two weeks.
both eight four front games goes outside playoffs points teams thinking tied win
They're thinking the same way. It's a big two games for them, too. There's four points available, and they're like four-point games. If we win both we'll be tied with them, and if it goes the other way they're eight points in front of us. Both teams are outside the playoffs now, so it's huge.
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.
decision help hopefully signing understand
I understand his side, you want to see a commitment. Hopefully my signing will help his decision a little bit, too.
marty obviously win
It was working pretty well with Marty and Stumpy. But obviously when you don't win some games, there are going to be some changes.
goal huge
It was a huge goal by Horton, to get it back right away.
