canadian dark heard honest love obviously opportunity press
I've love to get the opportunity again. But to be honest on my end I haven't heard anything. Obviously I don't get too much Canadian press down here. I'm in the dark really.
against definitely exactly game good happy hard opposite points score
We're definitely very happy to get that many points against that good of a team. It's hard to explain. Sometimes your expectations of what kind of game it is and what kind of score it will be are exactly opposite of what happens.
certainly dominate game guys huge misses thrill
That was a huge thrill for me. The game misses guys like that. He certainly could dominate out there.
good playing remember
I don't remember ever going 6-0. We've got a very good team, but we still have a lot to do. We are playing very well right now.
basically game goal help obviously per power shut totally
The power play has basically been totally shut down and that's obviously something we need to help us out. The way the game is called today, you need at least one power-play goal per game. We were getting two per game for awhile, but we're not now.
bad decisions lose
When you have two five-on-threes like that, it's just unacceptable not to score. We just didn't make the right plays. We were making bad decisions and that's the way you lose games.
moved power puck
We moved the puck well and our power play was good. The more we play together, the better off we're going to be.
difference dressing guys people room wherever
To me, that's irrelevant. What difference does it make to the guys in the dressing room if people in wherever know who they are?
bad games good
We've been pretty good. We've had some good games and some bad games, but we've started to play well and see each other out there.
asked david time
David (Poile) asked me about it. But it's been a long year. It's time to take a break.
great laid pass saw stayed
It was a great play by Z. He saw me curling there and he laid it right out there for me. He even put some backspin on it so it stayed there. A great pass by Z.
game grew number special spent
It's always a special game to play in the place that you grew up. I spent a number of years here and I don't know any other home.
excited great looked punch role scoring work
They have great goaltending, great work ethic, and if they lacked anything, it was some scoring punch up front. I looked at that as a big role I could fill, and I was really excited to come here and do that.
home obviously score sullivan
At home we just have to score in shootouts and obviously Sullivan and I didn't do that tonight.
