game win
I want to win every game that I play.
accurate almost bigger high hit missed net problem shots wide wing year
We had almost 60 (blocks or misses), and that was a bigger problem for us. We missed the net on too many shots that all year we hit the net on. We shot it high and wide off the wing where we had been accurate all year.
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.
game good next ourselves outright rest win
If we go out and win outright the rest of the way through, we put ourselves in a good position. But we have one game, and that's Thursday. Then after that we have one game, and it's Saturday. Right now, each game is more important than the next and that's the way it's going to be right through the playoffs.
game helped scoring stronger
We did give up a lot of scoring chances, but I'm not going to say that a stronger game out of me wouldn't have helped us get it into overtime.
spark trying
I was just trying to spark my team.
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.
adjust game games guy learned month needs played style
My style is I'm not a guy who needs a whole lot of games. When I was a backup, I played one game a month or two games a month. You have to be ready. That's kind of how I always approached it. I learned to adjust to that.
best country hope knows miss olympics player until waits
That whole country knows they have the best player in the world. They know he couldn't miss the Olympics without at least trying. I just hope he waits until after they play us.
ahead fired goals happen moving process sure upset yelling
I wasn't yelling at anybody. I was as fired up as everybody. We're all upset when goals go in. It's not a finger-pointing thing but the process of moving ahead and making sure it doesn't happen again.
guys looked minutes played solid tonight
We played a solid 60 minutes tonight. Tonight we put everything together. I didn't have to do much. The guys were awesome. It looked like a real Flyers game.
talk
It was just talk between me and another player, that's all.
They've got everything working for them right now. They are really clicking.
best focused hockey prepare worried
I'm not really worried about that. I'm worried about myself and the best way to prepare for hockey games, and that's all I'm focused on.
