beat early falls goals good guy leave line pass red team three zone
With no red line there should be a lot of goals. You can read the play where it is going up the wall. If you leave the zone early and a guy can make a good pass to you then you can have a breakaway if you beat the defenseman. There could be two or three breakaways for each team every game, especially if a defenseman falls down. It will be interesting.
believe few last minutes
I know we've got another level. We showed it the last few minutes of that game, and I know we can do it. We've got to believe in each other and keep going.
cool game goals happen lifetime might three win wonder
It's cool to do this. I didn't think it would happen in this game. I've had a lot of two-goal games. You always wonder if you are ever going to do it. Getting three goals in an NHL game might be a once in a lifetime thing, but getting the win is so much more important.
against believe best boost knowing league mental nice opponent playoff teams
They could be a second- or third-round opponent in the playoffs, and knowing we can come in here and win is a big mental boost for everyone. We believe we can win against the best teams in the league and that's nice to know come playoff time.
paying played price puck
We were paying the price but the puck wasn't going in for us. (Auld) played well.
knows played score
Tomas played remarkably. Without him, who knows what the score would have been.
bouncing brand break game hopefully ice shape takes week
Brand new ice contributed to that. It usually takes a week or two to kind of get back in game shape and the puck's not bouncing around and stuff. Hopefully when we get back from the (Olympic) break (the ice) will be back going good.
excuse grow
Now I have an excuse to grow a beard.
blank buried point shots tonight
The shots we had were right there, point blank and tonight we buried them.
asked believe bigger contract sign supposed wait
I didn't believe it at first. I was supposed to sign a new contract that day, and they asked me to wait because they had bigger news.
last shift
But we went out there on our last shift and said, 'We are going to do it.'
It's just something that you do when you get to the playoffs.
almost face good hot left puck round skaters team teams winning
They've got a lot of good skaters who can put the puck in the net. They're a hard-working team and they've been winning left and right. They're one of those teams that you almost don't want to face in the first round because they've been so hot lately.
couple deserved good happens key rang shots sneak stopped
He stopped a lot of shots and a lot of key shots, point-blankers, I think we rang a couple off the posts. But that's what happens when you're having a good game. He deserved at least a (regulation) tie, at least a point. But we were able to sneak it out.
