against buildings entire expect games good loved missed opportunity ottawa played quality teams top
I would have loved the opportunity to play against Ottawa this year. We missed the entire division. Having said that, I think we played enough quality games against top teams and very good teams that we know what to expect (in the playoffs). We played well on the road. We played well at home. We went into good teams? buildings and won.

We obviously played much better. It was a disappointing third period (Saturday) to say the least. We rebounded pretty well.
aspect bryan center good himself liked man overall played wore
I wore No. 19 because of Bryan Trottier. I liked the overall aspect of his game. I liked the way he conducted himself on the ice. He was a quiet guy. He played really hard; just a good all-around, prototypical center man who could do everything.
against everybody feels games guys home ice mean played playoff
We've played a lot of games against each other, and a playoff series, and lot of guys on their team, and on ours, have played in the other building. Home ice doesn't mean a thing. Everybody feels comfortable, and all the games have been good.

It's worked out well. We've been together for a while and played effectively.
good lose mason played strong tough
They've got a lot of good players, a good defense, and I think Mason has played very well for them when he's been in the net. It's tough to lose a goalie that's been so good for you, but they still have a strong team.
