best efforts minutes
It was one of our best efforts of the year, from the first minutes to the very end of the game.
against dominate guys hide maybe nice past people specific sure
It's nice if we don't have to hide Christian, just play him against specific people or make sure he doesn't go out against guys in the past that maybe he was intimidated to play against or who would plain-old dominate him. I don't feel that way anymore.
caused cheat maybe neutral rarely talked
It's something we actually talked about with the linesman. They cheat on every face-off, and they killed us the other night. I don't know, maybe having said that caused them (the referees to make the call). But it is a penalty. You rarely ever see that one called in the neutral zone.
amongst common hard light net red score wants
Each one of them wants to score so bad, they go to the net hard and they live to see the red light go on. That's what's common amongst them all.
along gets
Everyone gets along very well, even the new girls. We try to keep it where everyone is very close.
against best focus games huge seem vancouver win
The best thing we can do is win all our games, then you don't even have to bother. Our focus right now has to be on Colorado, but those two games against Vancouver right now are huge as well as the game in L.A. It's the L.A. and Vancouver games that seem to have the most importance.
huge
It's going to get harder. We're going to need huge contributions from everybody.
closer huge step
It's going to get harder. We'll play a team, and it's going to be one step closer to the Cup. It's going to get harder. We're going to need huge contributions from everybody.
chance guys hopefully learned lesson puck shoot shows
It shows you to just shoot the puck. And the lesson learned hopefully for a lot of our guys is just shoot the puck and you have a chance to score. If you don't, you're not going to score.
details easier fast few focus good hard knew lead start
It's hard to play with a 5-1 lead and we let a few things slide, but the focus was on details and getting off to a good start. We knew if we got off to a fast start we could make it easier on ourselves.
buy couple few happen hard looking lose next suddenly teams
It's hard to know what's going to happen in the next few days, because there are so many teams still in contention. But some teams could lose a couple of games, and suddenly they're not looking to buy anymore.
game good simple
It was a tight-checking game and they should never have got a 5-on-3, it's as simple as that. It's not a good call.
against best goal home league particular score team
They did not score one even-strength goal against us in this building, and they were the best home team in the league this year. That's a real confidence-booster for our whole team, and in particular our defense.
game pace trying
They were red-faced at the pace we were trying to play the game at.
