game great nice pick playing
This place is great to play in. That's why home-ice is so important. It's nice to be playing this way, but we need to pick our game up a lot in the playoffs. It's a whole new season.
might ready start teams
There might have been some of that at first. But when you start 8-0, teams are going to be ready to play you.
expansion expect happy three
As an expansion franchise, the first two or three years, they were just happy to be in the league. But once you go through that, over time, you get better and you expect more.
league wants
This is a place where you can win, and I think it's what the league wants and that's what they got.
good lack
Defensively we didn't do a very good job. But over all it was just lack of a 60-minute effort.
moved played power puck score step
I thought we moved the puck around pretty well. I thought we played well five-on-five, but when you don't score that way, that's when the power play has to step up.
front great hockey improve moved puck traffic
I thought we moved the puck around pretty well and we got some traffic in front of their net. But this is a long series, and they've got a great hockey club. We've got to improve our effort.
adjust guys penalties year
Penalties killed us all year even after being addressed. Guys need to adjust to calls.
chance good
He doesn't get a chance to show how good he is. But when he does, he's incredible.
middle ourselves rut win
We're in the middle of a rut right now, and we're going to have to get ourselves out of it. It's a very competitive conference, and we have to win some.
bounce forget game hopefully huge nice quickly ready
That's a huge game and we've got to be able to show we can bounce back. It's nice that we've got a back-to-back situation, so hopefully we'll be able to forget about this one quickly and get ready for (tonight).
against difficult found great team
I had always found it difficult to play against them and produce, ... They've always been from Day 1 a very hard-working team but they've also always had great skaters.
drive porsche promised
he promised me I'd get to drive his Porsche this year.
score series
All series long we were in the box, can't score from there.
