behind caught climb goals hill minutes people points
We've been like umpteen points behind (in the standings) and caught people so two goals down in the first 10 minutes is not that big a hill to climb for us.
game keeping length ready sharp talked
We were sharp right from the get-go. We talked about that at length before the game about being ready and keeping it simple.
expect four goals job joe jump score sit three
We can't sit back and expect Joe to score three or four goals and we jump on his back. He has to do his job and we have to do our job.
caught focus forget games played points
We've played all these (recent) games as if they're must-win games. That being said, you can't get too caught up with the focus being two points that you forget about the process.
found glad looking ways
For a while there, I thought we were looking for ways to lose. I'm just glad we found a way to win.
longer people second seen teams tooth weary
For all the people who say we're too young, this is when it really comes in handy. I've seen some of the teams that are longer in the tooth -- they're the ones that are really weary on the second nights.
break certainly five games great last potential signs six work
It's kind of like a mustang or stallion that you have to break -- you see all this potential but it's kind of wild. I think he is still a work in progress, but he's certainly showed a lot of great signs the last five or six games he's played.
against beat emotional felt impact played team time wants wilson
Darryl can say all he wants that it has no impact on him, but there will be some emotional ties. I know how I felt the year, two years after every time we played against Anaheim (a team that let Wilson go as coach). I wanted to beat them bad. You're always going to think about being let go.
came cap couple feather hours huge sixth vancouver
It's huge to get that out of the way. All we really do is get to think about it for a couple hours here and play Vancouver again. If we could get sixth or even fifth, that would be a real feather in our cap considering where we came from.
casual gave gotten pay puck second talked third
It was a play where we could have gotten the puck and we didn't. We were casual and they made us pay for it. We talked about that between the second and the third periods. We just gave them life.
both certainly deserved happy overtime played points
It was kind of old-time hockey. I'm not happy that we had to go to overtime to win, but we certainly deserved both points with the way we played physically.
awhile foot future game gas hard looking risking
It was looking for awhile like the way the game started that we weren't going to get anything and once we battled back it's hard in a game like that to keep your foot on the gas without risking anything and I think in the future we've got to keep on pushing.
four guys hard light net red
I've had four guys do it and they all go for it. They all go to the net hard and live for the red light to go on. That's what they all have in common.
none players prove respect
None of our players want to go out there and prove anything to Darryl. They have a lot of respect for him.
