addition chance division safe title win winning
Even with a win, we're not safe yet. But with a win it really would give us a chance to (think) about winning the division title in addition to making the playoffs.
extend four guys lead lines nice roll themselves
It's nice to get those kind of games. You get a lead and guys don't have to extend themselves too much. You get to roll four lines and play everybody.
emphasis likes mark plateau view
It's still a big plateau for a lot of guys. It's a mark that everyone likes to get to. Personally, I didn't put too much emphasis on it, but I view myself more as a play-making centre.
bit chances early excited good pressure successful team tough
It's a tough stretch. But you look at it as a good opportunity, too. If you can be successful early you can give yourself a bit of a cushion. I don't feel any more pressure this year; I feel more excited than anything about our team and our chances to be successful.
area definitely five four improved last per playoffs power
It's definitely an area we need to improve. If we could have improved our power play last season, just four or five per cent, we would have been in the playoffs easily.
fans great push test
It's a big push for every team. It will be great for the fans and a big test for the players.
huge points satisfied six worse
We've been in a lot worse situations. We're happy, but not satisfied with where we are at the break. For us to be (three) points up and not six points back is going to be huge for us.
games wins
We're still in this thing. We have two games to go at home. Two more wins and we can still get in.
bought developed finding good key neutral offence winning
We've all bought into it. It's the key to us winning the series. Most of their offence is developed out of the neutral zone. We have to do it. They are so good at finding those holes. We think it's something that has to be done.
gave great score three
We gave them three great opportunities to score and that was the difference. It's frustrating.
core fairly guys mid people
That's not up to me, but I don't think so. Our core is still fairly young, guys in their young to mid 20s, that's the thing people need to look at.
detroit neutral space team
Detroit is very much a team you can't give space to in the neutral zone.
bit break nice
The break is nice - but it's little bit long.
anyone chance couple days early felt gives next pick step team time today together week yesterday
After you take that much time off it gives you a chance to kind of step into it easy. Yesterday and today we kind of felt our way into it; we don't want anyone to come back and get sore. We're going to pick it up in the next couple of days and by early next week we'll have our team together and be up to speed.
