game goals great walk
It was two pretty opportunistic goals by them. That's going to happen. They're a great team. You can't walk away with a game when it's these guys.
certainly game huge knew needed pressure time
That was as big as they get at this time of the year. We knew we needed it. We didn't want to put too much pressure on it, but we certainly knew this was a huge game for us.
believe gave
That's the way it is with this team. We never gave up and we believe in one another.
ability bail games goals great juice played time wants
Juice is a competitor. He's played some great games for us in this stretch, ... I know he wants those goals back, but that's the time we have to bail him out at the other end of the rink. The one off the crossbar could have made a difference. We have to have the ability to have a big game offensively for him.
bad bounce couple game lost minnesota needed played sports team win
We needed to bounce back from that Minnesota game. We played well enough to win but lost because of a couple bad breaks. Sometimes a game like that can really set a team back.
believed game win
We were going go win the game ? we said it. I don't know if we all believed it, but we have come back in years before, especially at home.
advantages dramatic
I don't think you'll see such dramatic changes, ... There will be some advantages for guys, and some disadvantages for others. Not being a 225-pound defenceman, I think that's going to be an advantage for me personally.
talent
There is only so much you can do with that much talent on the ice.
call
We don't call it that. We call it pressing.
team tough
It's been tough on us. I think we will be a better team in the playoffs.
