It's been a long stretch and lots of games, but we pulled it together and got some big wins.
It's pretty frustrating. That was a big point for us.
They are playing very well right now, and we had a couple good challenges against Detroit and Colorado and this one is just as tough. They are a surprising team this year and they are winning hockey games. We want to show them what we can do and get back to first place in the conference.
You don?t want to think about it, but it?s in the back of your mind. In the last two games I had some great chances. It was good to get this one tonight and now I can turn the page. It will be a lot easier to focus now.
It's a little surprising, but it's early in the season. Hopefully that puck will still go in every night. I'm sure it's going to be tough to do it.
It (Olympics) is definitely a step up from the NHL regular season play.
It's tough news to take right now, especially with the start I have had and everything was going well. Right now, we're going through so many injuries and my turn came.
It's not supposed to be like that. But I think everybody knows that this game was maybe looking a little bit easier than Ottawa, New York and New Jersey. This may have been our toughest game this week. That's not right when you come in like that. It doesn't give respect to the other team and maybe that's what we did (Tuesday).
It?s not the way you want to come out here in front of your fans. It?s not the way you want to lose. It?s a tough night.
It's the kind of game you look at at the end of the season and that may be two points we could have had in the standings. All the work we did the last few games was great, but to play the way we played tonight and not put the effort into at least getting the chance to get those two points is not the right way to do it.
It's always fun when you got those lucky goals on your side.
It looks like every night it is tougher and tougher to score goals, and you face the best line on the road.
That's a big number. It was good to get this one. I don't want to say I was not focusing on the game, but it will be a lot easier to focus.
They surprised us. It was a special game for them, and they played that way.
