control half happy number played scoring took
I'm not happy with the way we played in the first half of the game, but we took control and got a number of scoring opportunities.
bad game halfway happens points seem team turning
We've had now for us kind of turning points where we could have put the other team down two halfway through the game and we just missed. At some point something bad happens and we don't really seem to respond.
energy halfway lost needed period
About halfway through the game, we lost our energy. We were all over them in the first period and we just didn't have the energy to do what we needed to do to keep them in trouble.
couple face focus game half hard maintain
It's a hard game for him because the first half of the game, he only had a couple situations, but really he didn't face any rubber. That's hard for a goalie to maintain his focus and composure, but he did.
energy game halfway looked maintained ours wore
We looked like we didn't have much energy tonight. As the game wore on, they maintained their energy, and ours had been sapped about halfway through the game.
dedicated good happy hard nice worked
I'm really happy for him. He's worked really hard for this. It's nice to see a good person, who is dedicated to the game, on and off the ice, get rewarded.
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.
dangerous happened joe picked plays power since time
That is the first time its ever happened for this franchise. Since we picked up Joe (Thornton), we've had one of the most dangerous power plays in the league.
clicking job power worked
They worked really hard. It was a battle. Fortunately, our power play was clicking and we got the job done.
fun guys twice
Not many guys can make a play on their backhand like that. To see the guy on your forehand is one thing, but to do it twice on your backhand is pretty fun to watch.
home league nashville playing series win
It's not about playing Nashville or anything like that. The way the league is now (seeds) 5, 6, 7 and 8 could win their series and then you have home ice.
