care hockey people points seem watch
People seem to care about points ? how many points we have and how we finish. I don't play hockey to watch the standings. I play hockey to win.
below changes league points taken teams
But there are other teams that should be better, too, because of all the changes that have taken place. You look at the league right now and to be honest, I couldn't tell you who's going to be over 100 points or who would be below 80 points.
almost eight games played point six
I play a lot in the NHL, and I'm tired. At some point you need a little rest. I've played almost 50 games. This would be six games in eight days, or something like that.
against chances couple four goal good great nights overtime points power red road three
Such a good couple nights for us. We did it again, we give them chances on the power play. They had like three posts it could have been different. It was our night. We had a great goal in overtime and we got four points on the road against the Red Wings. I mean, if you look at the history, that's never been the case.
achieved against beat definitely four games good points red respect respected wings
We were able to get four points in two games against the Red Wings on the road, and historically that's never been the case. We definitely want some respect and I think we've achieved that. If you want to be respected as a good team, then you have to beat the good teams.
fancy stop trying
I'm just trying to stop the puck. There's nothing fancy about it.
definitely fight moment playing starting tournament whoever
I'm definitely going to fight for the job. It's up to the coaches, we'll see what happens. I definitely feel I have a chance. Usually in this tournament it's whoever is playing better at that moment when it comes to the starting goalie.
neck shot taken
I have never taken a shot like that to my neck in a game. It was scary.
good obviously pleased team work
I'm obviously pleased that we're in a really good position. I really like our team and that hasn't always been the case. It's still going to take a lot of work to get in the playoffs, but that's where you have the fun.
front next season work worry
It's comfortable to know you did it, but the work doesn't stop, ... We have the whole season in front of us. Now I'll worry about the next game.
gave
We scored that goal. It's not like they gave it to us.
crucial good team work
Crucial breakdowns to a good team is not going to work. We had opportunities but it didn't work out.
blocks defense guys helps playing pressure taken veteran
Brendan Witt is playing great. He blocks shots. He is also a leader. With him in the lineup the whole defense has the pressure taken off of them. We have a lot of young guys and a veteran like Brendan helps them play better.
game hard period shots substitute total work
Twenty-two shots is usually the whole game total for us. So for us to do that in one period was great. There's no substitute for hard work and that's what we were doing out there.
