carolina couple effort found game great huge lead lose nights played situation strong tonight win
It was a great effort by our team, ... We had the lead in Carolina and we found a way to lose that game a couple of nights ago. We were in the same situation tonight and I think we played a pretty strong game for 60 minutes. It was a huge win for us here in Ottawa.
bit chance couple days help hockey last mentally minds needed putting rest side since start thinking time year
It's been great. It's been a while since we had a chance to do this stuff. The last time was at the start of the year in Montreal. A couple days away, putting our minds on the side and not thinking about hockey a little bit may be enough to help us rest mentally and it's something we needed right now.

We tried to start better and score a couple of quick goals, and it was a big plus when we did that. Overall, I think we played pretty well defensively.
couple maybe moves nervous next pressure success takes year
You need to get a couple moves in your head. The move I did was the first move in my mind. I haven't had much success in shootouts this year and I was a little nervous on this one. Maybe this takes off some pressure and the next one will be sweeter.

After they scored, we decided to play. It's playoff time. It's not acceptable for a team not to be ready to play. We need to find a way to get momentum right away.

I'm enjoying playing the game again. I'm having fun, getting chances every night and it's certainly fun playing next to a player like Peter.
fun goals kinds puck talk
I had no idea the puck was in. But when I went to talk to the referee, he said the puck was in. He said they called that one in from Toronto. I don?t know if that?s a new thing in the NHL, but it?s always fun when you?ve got those kinds of goals on your side.
against character found games overtime playing road shows team win
I like the way the team's playing right now. It's tough, you go on the road and the games are tight, especially against New York, and we found a way to win a game on the road in overtime again. It shows the character the team has.
