basically everybody failure fear ready
Basically you can't fear failure. We've got to go out there and be ready and play on the edge. We're going to need everybody ready to compete.
basically cynic goals grind joe might pass playing score third truth work
A cynic might say he's profiting from playing with Joe Thornton, and there's some truth to that, but he did score 28 goals without a pass from Joe Thornton two years ago. And he basically was playing on a grind line, a third line, doing a lot of the work himself.
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.

We had the puck on our stick and didn't get it out of the zone. And when something like that happens at this point of the season it's inexcusable.

We hung in there and got the job done.

We don't want him handling the puck as much as he does, and yet he does and he makes mistakes like he did. His focus has got to be on the puck and not what other people are doing.

We're very aware, we've got a chart up. I try to make everyone on the team aware of where we stand and what we have to do to make the playoffs.

The ship is much easier to access when it's in the water and significant work, like testing the combat systems and running the engines, can be performed in a more efficient and timely fashion.
awful feeling hard hard-work rewarded
It would have been an awful feeling had we not prevailed in overtime. We got rewarded for our hard work.
cheering goals guys joe position power provided richard scoring title trying win
The right guys are scoring for us. I'm cheering for Joe to win the scoring title and for Cheech to win the goals title, the Richard Trophy. Provided it doesn't take away from what we're trying to do to win, I'll do everything in my power to put them in the position to succeed.

Electric blankets, portable heaters, insulating, all that type of winterizing, weatherizing (items) are selling early this year. Electric space heaters seem to be taking off early this year, too.
adversity handle period second test
The test was, could we handle the adversity in the second period and we did.

I wanted that shootout so bad. I had my lineup card all filled out.
