caught sure
I'm not sure we got caught tired. I think we just got caught flat-footed.
hard needed penalty period sure third
I'm not sure we competed as hard as we needed to for the first 40 minutes. Then the third period was all a penalty kill. There's not a lot to like about the game, honestly.
history magical sort sure wait watching
I'm not sure they wait for him to do magical things but they are sort of watching history here, too.
It was more for effect, a little acting.
might
It was not pretty. That might be the understatement of the year.
both good
It was a good goaltender battle. Both goalies made exceptional saves.
chosen circle explain few games last stake time
It's time to circle the wagons and explain to everyone we must be better. I'm disappointed in what we have chosen to do here in the last few games and I don't like that. There's a lot at stake here.
help players team
I want to be the team we were before the (Olympic) break. Additions or not, I want us to be that team. If we're that team, then these two players really help us a lot. If not, then they'll struggle.
good seemed today
It's improving. It's encouraging, after today at least, it seemed like he had some good treatment.

It's cheating. It's trying to make the 60-foot pass and not collaborating on anything that has to be done.
arguably best continue job matter regardless rink road team venue
It's a matter of can we play on the road with what could arguably be the best team in the league. Can we go into their rink and continue to play the way we have to play regardless of the venue and get the job done? We'll see.
bargain certainly exciting happy hope
It's an exciting time, obviously, I think for everyone. We hope to live up to our end of the bargain and make it exciting for our fans. But certainly we're happy to be back.
absolutely beam helpful less press run sum
It'll be helpful to get to know ... can he run the table? Can he play a seven-game series? Does he play when he's absolutely on the beam or does he press too much to where he's less than the sum of his parts?
adds almost belief beyond cup drought equate guess sort stanley
It's beyond belief. You sort of equate that with the drought with the Stanley Cup and I guess it adds up but it's almost unbelievable.
