best both extremely road seeing teams
Probably because you're seeing two of the best road teams in the league. We both play extremely well on the road.
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.
teams wear
We never give up. We wear a lot of teams down.
expect game hockey matched playoff rode start taken team
There hasn't been one game where one team has taken it from the start and just rode with it. That's just playoff hockey between two evenly matched teams. We don't really expect too much different in Game 6.
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.
detroit neutral space team
Detroit is very much a team you can't give space to in the neutral zone.
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.
against bearing believed media picked red teams truly wings
The media hasn't picked up on it like we have in here, but we truly believed we could be successful. We believe in ourselves, that we can get it done in the end. What other teams have done against the Red Wings has no bearing on our play. We have the confidence, and we've had it from the start, that we can get things done.
since worst
Terrible. The worst I've ever been part of since I've been a professional.
against chances created excellent finish game life offense penalties save seems win
Every goalie we play against seems to have the game of his life against us. We created some excellent chances but we couldn't finish any of our chances off. Even with all the penalties we had to kill, I think we created enough offense to win the game, but when he's (Miller) making save after save, all you can do is keep shooting.
We should be pretty experienced when it comes down to it.
call whatever
You can call it whatever you want, that's just how we're playing.
behind calm game
We have the first game behind us. I think we'll calm down more now.
chance game good obviously practice ready slow speed strengths time work
Obviously it's good to have some practice time to get ready for Detroit. One of the strengths of their game is their neutral-zone play and we have to try and slow their speed down, so it's good to get out there and have a chance to work on that.
