best question
Nice. No question you want to score. You want to play the best you can play.
best finally full happened knocked met rangers rivalry time
It's always a rivalry between us and with all the Rangers fans, we'll finally have a full building. We know what happened in 1997 when they knocked us out (the most-recent time they met in playoffs). This should be one of the best series.
against best excited fans finally full gonna players rangers
It's gonna be special. We're finally going to have a full building, because there'll be a lot of Rangers fans there, too. We're excited to be going against one of the best players in the world. It should be a lot of fun.
awhile best couple difficult found games last played takes turn year
They're in a difficult situation; it takes awhile to turn it around. After the new year we're 7-0. And the last couple of games, we haven't played our best games but we've found a way to win.

We tried to frustrate them and we did, you could see it in their faces. But it's just one game, we have to get ready for another one (Monday).

We figured out a little bit the last 11 games and the last few weeks that we like to play and what we have to do to be successful. We've just got to keep it going.
couple feeling game good guys injured ourselves pinch played series
We don't want to pinch ourselves now. We're feeling good about the game we have been playing. We know the series we played, they had a couple of injured guys but that doesn't take anything away from the game we played or what we accomplished.
nights score trouble
We had a lot of opportunities. We would've been in trouble if we couldn't score on those chances. It was just one of those nights where everything went in for us.
given good happy hard opportunity worked
Listen, I've been here my whole career. I've accomplished something here. I put myself in a good position. I worked hard for where I'm at. They've given me an opportunity to succeed, so I'm happy for that. But on the other hand, there's things that could be an issue.
against atlanta game lost turning underrated winning
We were underrated all year. There was a game against Atlanta (March 23), where we were winning 4-1, lost (6-5) in overtime. That was a turning point. If we lost (composure after that) we go downhill.

We have to. We need to. He's a big man, great guy, has great hands, great shot, everything. So, we need him to help out offensively.
believing game
We've got to keep believing in us. We know that if we play our game we can be successful.

I don't know about any of that. After New Year's, we've shown that we can beat anybody. It's just a matter of putting it together the right way.
good leave
Leave him alone. He's got a good chance, though.
