Sometimes the energy drops after that. A lot of teams are tired now, a lot of games in a short period of time, and we just need to battle and fight through it.
team
That was not our team on the ice.
buffalo dominated game start team type
We dominated the game in Buffalo because of the start. The start of the game is very important for us, especially with the type of team we have.
chance entire few game guys rest team
We have not had one game where the entire team has been healthy. This is a chance to get some guys rest and get a few guys back after the break.
bit easier everybody game knows looking maybe respect supposed team toughest york
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 was a great win for us against one of the best teams right now. We need these points. Winning at home is huge for us. We haven't really had a good stretch at home the last few games.

We did our job by winning our game. What are you going to do? They fought back. They're the hottest team in the league and they showed they could fight to the end. They deserve it and now we've got to focus on Buffalo.
against challenges colorado couple detroit good hockey playing surprising team winning year
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.
both finally good road teams tired win
A win on the road like this, we know it's never easy, especially here in Carolina. Both teams were tired after traveling. But I feel very good at the end when you finally get the two points.
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.
acceptable decided momentum playoff ready team
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.
couple goals played plus quick score start tried
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.
best captain experience front future honor mind people persons reason
It would be an honor to be a captain in the future for this organization, but when you look around, there are different people having more experience than I do and have been there before. I had two persons in front of me. One was (Eric Desjardins) and the other was (Hatcher). Those were the two people in my mind that were the best people to have that job. That was one reason I was not comfortable with it.
