happens
You don't want to give up that shorthanded goal, but that's what happens when you try to take chances.
busy games hurt lots months playing season short three time
It was a busy three months there at the end of the season from the Olympics. There was lots of hockey. So a little injury, it didn't really hurt me that way. It was nothing serious. So a little break, it's always good, especially when we're playing that many games in a short time span. I feel good.
everybody game knows shift time
I think everybody knows what's going on and everybody knows the situation. You just have to go a game at a time, a shift at a time and just concentrate on our play.
guess record
I don't know what to say. But I guess an NHL record is an NHL record.
looks playing
It looks great. It's everybody's goal. That's why you're playing in the league. That's what we're working for.
game last
When you're 37, every game is like your last game.
beat great knew playing talented teams
We know we're not the most talented team, but we knew the way we could beat these teams was by playing great team defense.
skate
We didn't skate as well as we'd like to. We had our chances, but it wasn't enough.
cost focused lately simple skating
Lately we haven't been skating like we want in the first period. We weren't focused enough. We didn't make the simple plays, the simple passes. We didn't really get anything going. That cost us.
eye room
You've got to keep an eye on him all the time. You can't give him any room and you've got to be in his face. You've got to know where he's at all the time.
