thinking work
That's the positive, we're not going in thinking it's automatic. We're going to have to work for those wins.
basically fun ice looks missed played player sees wants works
He basically hasn't played in two years and it looks like he hasn't missed a beat. He wants the puck, sees the ice well, works hard. It's fun to see a player that young so detailed.
great shot
Great move, great shot and he made a great save.
hard
I don't think he realizes what he just did, how hard that is.
guys hard huge matters realized
I don't think he realized how hard that is. He's very comfortable, and this is when it matters most too. These are huge games, and to see the young guys come through like this is great.
applying gap january playoff position
I don't want us to think by the end of January we've got to be in a playoff position or else. We've just got to keep shortening the gap and keep applying the pressure.
easy games loose opposed playing playoff scare
These games scare you. Because they're playing loose and easy as opposed to us because we're playing for a playoff spot.

All I heard was a bunch of yelling several houses down behind me.
catch looking shoulder
You catch him looking over his shoulder saying, 'Wow', and you go from there.
game guy guys ignore knock minutes penalty plays power three totally tough
I don't think that's a big part of the game right now. It's about power plays and penalty kills, it's not about fighting. And it's a little different if the tough guy can play. ... I'm not going to knock some of these other guys who can play only three minutes and if you ignore them they're totally useless.
caught happens power stick three
The guy's stick is caught in a guy's sweater, it's not hooking. I think he thought Hannan was right-handed. And then you see what happens after that, we get three power plays, but you can't make up a goal.
effort guys hard proud throughout worked
The guys really worked hard from the get-go. Even when Dallas) scored, I didn't see them flinch. I'm really proud of the effort throughout the line-up.
confidence foot harder high hope stays teams
A lot of times, it's harder being one of those teams being chased, your mind-set is different. I just hope our confidence stays high and we keep our foot on the gas.
finish goal home ice league left playing points possible seeds
And it's not about playing Nashville. You never know what's going to take place in other series. The way the league is now, the 5-6-7-8 seeds could win, and then you're left with home ice. Our goal is to finish with as many points as possible because home ice does matter, especially at the Tank.
