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.
break days games good huge nobody view wants win
Nobody wants to play 16 games in 30 days and have to win 11 or 12 of them just to put yourself in a good position. That's why we view these games before the break as very important for us to win. These are huge games.
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.
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.
call whatever
You can call it whatever you want, that's just how we're playing.
exhibition games heard minnesota special teams wondering
We're all wondering the same thing. We heard from exhibition games in Minnesota there were something like 10 or 15 five-on-threes, so your special teams better be pretty good.
behind calm game
We have the first game behind us. I think we'll calm down more now.
teams wear
We never give up. We wear a lot of teams down.
game nature proof record second simpler
It's second nature to play a simpler game on the road. That's probably why we have a better record than at home. The proof is in the pudding.
matter talent time
The kid's got unbelievable talent. It's only a matter of time for him.
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.
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.
