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.
given good intensity opportunity ourselves realize time tough win
We've put ourselves in a good situation, given ourselves a good opportunity to win at home. But at the same time we realize it's going to be a tough game. We have to come out with a lot of intensity because it's not going to be easy.
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.
matter talent time
The kid's got unbelievable talent. It's only a matter of time for him.
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.
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.
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.
behind calm game
We have the first game behind us. I think we'll calm down more now.
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.
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.
