I'm out there playing hard for them every night no matter what. It's good to get two points before Christmas.
everybody page stay together tough
Not so much a spark. But to get everybody back on the same page that they used to be. I think everybody is on a different page. It's a long season. It's tough for everybody to stay together all season.
chance definitely forward good looking plays saying situation summer wait
It's definitely going to be a good summer, something I'm looking forward to and we'll see what happens. I'm not predicting, I'm not saying I want to go there or there. I'm just going to wait for the summer and, for once, it's my chance to let the situation play out before it plays me.
air breath compared few fresh past
It's been kind of a breath of fresh air compared to the way things went the past few years.
bit couple enjoy finally huge lucky next perfect puck stepped stop win
It's huge to get a win to a) stop the three-game skid and b) to enjoy the next couple of days. The puck just kind of bounced out right in front. I was in perfect position, I think a little bit lucky to be there. I stepped into it and got lucky. It finally went in.
bit eight five four gives last nine time
Any time you get any regulars back, it kind of gives you that little bit of a boost. It's been different with four or five regulars out of the lineup the last eight or nine games.
good held skilled team test tonight
Tonight was a good test for us. They're a great, offensively skilled team and we held them for most of the game.
finally great half paid period periods played second work
This was huge. We didn't quit. We didn't sulk. We played great in the second half of the first period, and the second period was great. In the third, the work of the first two periods finally paid off.
doubt five games last mind playoff time
There's no doubt in here at all that come playoff time we are going to be fine. We have to put these last four, five games out of our mind and out of our psyche.
far guy second three zones
The second guy is so far away it doesn't matter. He's three zones away.
people point regular season
People say the regular season is meaningless, but every point will count.
penalties took
Obviously, we took way too many penalties tonight.
surprised
I was surprised I had that much time.
banner cool everybody great happen mark night obviously respects seeing
It was awesome. It was just so cool seeing Mark out there and seeing how much everybody respects him. I even got a little teary-eyed seeing the banner go up - and that doesn't usually happen with me. It was so great obviously to be able to play with him but also to be part of his banner night as well.
