fun offensive team
With Palffy and Gonchar, those are some real offensive players, ... It should be a fun team to watch, definitely.
both five goals guys obviously scoring seemed sticking sure teams together worried
If we're down five goals, obviously guys are a little more edgy. It just seemed like both teams weren't really worried about scoring anymore. They just wanted to make sure they were sticking together as a team out there.
came forward games growing looking montreal schedule teams toronto watched
Montreal and Toronto are two teams that I watched a lot growing up. Definitely, when the schedule came out these were the games I was looking forward to.
against deserved earned gotten happy hard teams worked
We're happy to get another one. We worked hard and we deserved it. Sure, we got a bounce. But other teams have gotten bounces against us, too. But we earned it.
chances difference fight gave great momentum team took
I think that we gave them momentum when we took those penalties. You can't give a great team like that chances because they are going to take advantage. We just weren't able to fight those off and that was the difference in the game.
case drafted early fortunate guys maybe team
I feel very fortunate to be in this situation. A lot of guys ... who are drafted early go to a team that's maybe rebuilding, but that's not the case here.

arena besides concern team worried worry
I don't think it's something I'm really worried about. Obviously, I know there's a lot of things going on about getting a new arena and the team being put up for sale. But besides that, I don't know the ins and outs, and I don't think it's my concern to worry about that too much.
change city fans great guys happening lost meant player realize team treated younger
Hockey's lost a great player and a great person. I don't think it will change anything for me, but this happening makes a lot of the younger guys realize what he meant to the team and the city. It makes you want to do things for the team and the city that he did, because the city has been unbelievable to us. It's just treated us great. We've got great fans here.
biggest couple great hits last nice plays positive since team
He's been a positive ever since he got here. He had a couple nice hits the last couple games. He's not the biggest guy, but he plays big and he has a big heart. That's important on any team and he's got to keep doing that. He's been great for us.
bit help matter putting respond seems shooting teams throw
He made some big saves. They were shooting everything tonight, putting a lot of pucks on net. We don't want to have to give him that much work, but I don't think we're ever worried. No matter what teams throw at him, he seems to respond well. We'll try to help him a little bit more.
continue five giving hockey mistakes playing solid teams tough
We're just playing pretty solid hockey right now and not making too many big mistakes. Five on five, we're making it really tough for teams to play us. We're skating, and we're not giving them a lot of opportunities in our end, for the most part. We have to continue to play like that.
backs bit defensive gets maybe moving net puck putting realize simplest team turn
You don't realize sometimes what putting the puck on net does. Sometimes defensemen turn their backs and maybe look at the puck, or it gets the defensive team moving and maybe a little bit confused. If you get it to the net, a lot of things can happen. It's the simplest thing, but sometimes it does get overlooked.
