bad focus gives great lets pressure task teammates tunnel vision
You feel the pressure of the city, the pressure of your teammates and the pressure of the organization to play to the best. Pressure is not a bad word. It's a great word. It gives you tunnel vision and lets you focus on the task at hand.
great hockey sign
I'd like to think we're better than any one player. I think that's the sign of a great hockey club.
great knew pass push quick
I think I knew he was there; you always know when he's on the ice, he's such a great little player. He (Hecht) made a quick enough pass that I couldn't make the push to get over there.
details good great man stuff
He's a great man. I like him a lot. Obviously, stuff will come out. I don't really know the details of it. But I do know he is a good man.
behind felt goal good great performance zone
I don't know how great (my performance) was. I felt like I was in the zone but you never feel good when you give up one more goal than the other team. We just got to put it behind us.
battle great pulled
I never like being pulled out. It was the right decision. I know it's part of the game. You want to be there when things are great and when things are bad, I want to battle it out.
bottom buddies details explain good great honest side stuff sure
I'm good buddies with him. He's a great man. I like him a lot. Stuff will come out. I don't know any of the details on it. But I do know that he's a good man. . . . He's a very honest guy. He'll explain his side of it and I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of it.
adding agents excited fans free good great job keeping needed
(Clarke) did a great job of keeping the free agents they needed to and adding the right ones. I think we're going to be a really good team, and I'm just as excited as the fans are to get back on the ice.
bad focus gives great pressure task tunnel vision
Pressure isn't a bad word. It's a great word. It gives you tunnel vision and let's you focus on the task at hand.
breaking calm clutch cracking heat nor relaxed sees situations team
You have to be very calm, especially in the most clutch situations in a game. If the other team sees that a goalie is calm and relaxed in the heat of battle, that's a pretty intimidating thing. They know they are not breaking nor cracking him.
instead learn net worrying
We just have to learn to play from the net out defensively instead of worrying so much about offense.
hour ourselves pushing
We've been pushing ourselves to the 11th hour all season, and now is no different.
against game played time
We've played pretty well against them this year. At this time of the year, every game can go one way or the other.
control four friday games today true win
We didn't have to win four games tonight, we only had to win one. Same thing is going to be true Friday night. You can only control that day and that moment, and today we really did that.
