along finish gives high obviously playoffs road tough trip
Obviously you want to make the playoffs as a first priority, but along the way you want to finish as high as you can. This road trip gives us a lot of confidence, because they were all tough games.
gives road tough
This road trip, I think, gives us a lot of confidence. They were all tough games.
against beat complete detroit effort games move next order road somebody sooner team throw
We need a complete team effort in order to beat a team like Detroit, especially here and we didn't get it. We'll just throw it away and move on to the next game. If you're going to have one of these games on the road trip, I'd sooner have it against Detroit than somebody else.
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.
bench generally hang
The feel on the bench is that something good's going to happen. Generally speaking, we hang in there.
glad joe struggling
I'm glad Joe scored the goal. He's been struggling lately.
