cost four gave period puck second three turning
We started turning the puck over in the second period and it cost us. We gave them three or four goals.
four game maybe three tone
We wanted to set the tone and go after those guys, but it was our first game in three or four days, maybe that was the case. We were able to get a two-goal lead.
definitely four guys maybe power three
We've still got Krajicek and Bouwmeester as well. You definitely need four guys on the power play, maybe even three units during the year.
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.
best chance few front league past team three tonight top win
He's the best goalie in the league right now. He's been top three in the past few years and he showed everyone tonight that he's the top one. With a goalie like him, we have a chance to win every night. And finally, he's got a team in front of him that can win the games.
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.
against beat feels games hard remember team three victory
The first three games against this team we didn't show up and we didn't play hard enough for. We wanted to show them we can beat them and it feels good. I can't remember when we got a victory against New Jersey.
couple deal hope name past stay trade traded
The past couple years my name has popped up at the trade deadline, (and) I've been traded a couple of times already. I don't think about that. I just hope we get an agreement, get a deal done, and I can stay here.

Without him (Luongo), we wouldn't have any points tonight.
climb fight possible team
This team is not going to quit. We are going to fight through and do everything possible to climb up.
feels game good pull
This was the kind of game we used to lose. It feels good to pull it out.
looked lose penalty puck special teams time tried win
We got a penalty every time we tried to take a puck off them. In the new NHL, special teams will win or lose you games. For a while it looked the other way around for us, but we bounced back.
building definitely fan feeling games ninth win
We've been building a fan base, so we definitely want to win games and at least be in that ninth place. That's still a possibility. The fans, and us as players, and the organization will have a better feeling going to the long summer.
guys older react team winning younger
Every winning team has experienced guys, and that's what we have now, ... It'll be interesting to see how the younger guys react with these older guys around.
