change focus great obviously playing sullivan trying
Obviously it's a great line, to be playing with Sullivan and Walker. I'm trying not to have too much focus on that. Things change really quick, so I'm just trying to do my job.
control games hard played playoff work
I've played in so many playoff games that I know I can make a difference. But we have a lot of players. The only thing I can control is my approach, so I've got to work hard and be ready.
coming good great hopefully training year
Especially this year coming into training camp, I didn't know what to expect. It's great to show I can still play in the NHL. I still feel good physically, so hopefully I can keep on going.
admit camp couple football intense last time top training weeks wondered year
I wondered after a year off how much time it would take to get back to top strength. I have to admit that training camp was pretty intense for me, but the last couple of weeks have been better.
creating focus reliable winning
Like I said, I just want to focus on the things I do well creating some offense, winning face-offs and being reliable in my own zone. Overall, I thought things went pretty well.
fastest game goal history
We were teasing (Johnson) before the game because it was probably the fastest goal in NHL history tonight.
bargaining gets hockey options
We'll have to see what all the options are before anything gets decided. But hockey is different today. The new (collective bargaining agreement) makes things much different.
close game gone sure win
It was close all game and could have gone one way or another. We've got to make sure we win those games.
best career offensive played top
They want me to play on one of the top two offensive lines, and that's where I've played most of my career anyway, so I'll try to do my best and show everyone that I can still play in the league.
bury move power
They want me to move a little better out there. We need to get things going on the power play. When I get my chances, I need to bury them.
against fighting knew next teams tonight year
Our preparation tonight was a lot better than it was against Chicago. We knew we had to come out strong. Even if teams like this are out of the playoffs, they're fighting for next year and working hard.
hard lead played score solid took
They took the lead and played very solid defense. It was hard to score goals.
believe lead starting worst
They say a 2-0 lead is the worst thing in hockey. Now, I'm starting to believe them.
against compete effort matter opponent teams top
Absolutely, the effort was better. If we want to compete against the top teams in the league, we've got to play like that. Actually, we need to play like that every night, no matter who the opponent is.
