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.
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.
great happy phoenix power special spent
I'm happy we spent all day (Tuesday) working on our power play. They've got great special teams. Fortunately, we had those opportunities, because we didn't look much better than we did in Phoenix to be honest.
caught happy teams time
I'm happy with that. I don't know why, if it's just fluky we caught teams at the right time or what.
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.
excitement exciting generally guys happy pace struggle
You're always going to struggle because of the excitement of the first day, but I was generally happy with the pace of our practice. It's exciting to be working with all these guys again.
happy
There wasn't much flow, but I was happy with our play defensively.
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.
