believed hockey people playoff position proven since team wrong
It's playoff hockey right now. This is it. If you don't lay everything on the line, you don't have a postseason. This team has already proven a lot of people wrong since most people didn't think we would be in the position we're right now. We believed in one another and believed in the system.

best difficult might paid people playoff season sweater
You don't put on this sweater and go through the motions. I know some people might think that's what we've been doing, but we haven't. That has not been why we are having the season we are having. It's not difficult at all to go out there and do the best you can even if you're out of the playoff race. That's what we are being paid to do, and I think we are doing it. Tonight, it was enough for us to win.

Coming in and getting that bomb dropped on us was heartfelt, of course. I am so grateful for Mike O'Connell to give me an opportunity to live out a childhood dream -- to come to Boston and put on the Bruins sweater. On the flip side, I feel responsible for him losing his job.

children concerned fact nobody seems serious system understand
Nobody seems to be concerned with the fact that these children could be in serious harm's way. I just don't understand how our system can be this flawed.
chance mark together
It's been a long time. Right now, it's 'Red Sox Nation,' but the Bruins have a chance to make our mark and come out of the gates, put together a championship team, on and off the ice.
chance climb definitely everybody olympic ourselves playoffs
We're getting points. Everybody thought a while back, that if we could climb back into it by the Olympic break, then we'd give ourselves a chance when we get back. The playoffs are a sprint, and we've definitely set ourselves up for that.

We've all had explained as to what is going to be called. Players were on the rules committee, so we all have to adjust.
