It was one bad break. We played a decent game and lost on a bad break in double overtime. That's playoff hockey. Move on.
bit create drew front frustrated havoc maybe next surprised trying
Initially, maybe I wasn't surprised at his reaction. But then the next one I thought, 'What is he thinking?' I was just trying to create a little bit of havoc in front of the net. Obviously, that's my job. I drew him into another penalty, he got a little frustrated and we capitalized with another goal.
best bring care everybody mirror simplify team win
Each one of us has to look in the mirror and simplify things - do our little things that everybody in here does best and what makes you accountable to the team and bring that to the table. I don't care if we win 2-1 - just get the win in Colorado.

It was great to see Ales get that goal when he did. And, wow, what a goal. I don't know how he does it.
lead sit
Once they get the lead they sit back even more. They sit back and play well defensively.

The new guys we got are settling in and everyone came up big tonight. Now, it's just a matter of keeping it going. We've got some big games in front of us and this (win) is going to help with the momentum, that's for sure.

I'm not going to change my game because of an incident like that. I'm sure he might change his actions. He'll want to get a win out of here. He'll take that as motivation.

It's a matter of finding the back of the net. We're a good team when all four lines are firing.

That's a great hockey team. Beating that team in a playoff series is obviously a great accomplishment for our hockey club and we know it's a surprise to almost everybody outside this dressing room. We knew we matched up well against Detroit and we were able to do what was necessary to get through some tough patches and prevail in the end.
guy move seen twice
That move is unbelievable. I've never seen a guy do it twice in one game.
