felt heard hit puck shot somebody
I just felt the puck hit me I don't know how many times. I heard one of my defensemen yell, 'It's still loose!' and then somebody shot it down the ice.

I have to keep learning as I go, here. The last week has really made me stronger and I've learned from it.
ability brings defensive great poise
He brings passion, he brings energy, he's a great leader. His poise with the puck, his puck-moving ability, his defensive play -- he's a world-class player. It would be great to see him back.
buy confidence fact game impressive offensive patient stars team tough willing
That's pretty impressive and the confidence is high. That's a tough team to play. They're a frustrating group, but the fact our offensive stars are willing to buy in and play a patient game is important.
against challenge definitely knew nice
It's definitely nice to get in. I knew it would be a challenge against that team.

Any time you seem to gain momentum, they snatch it right back with a big shift right away or a couple of shifts later. They turn things around so quickly, it's frustrating.

across hard screen shot
His shot is hard enough when you can see it. So when it comes across on a one-timer like that, with a screen in front, that's even tougher.

That's the way the games are in the new NHL. With a lot of power plays and 5-on-3s, it makes it tough. It shows no lead is safe.
good shot squeeze
He got a good shot away on the 5-on-3 and I just couldn't squeeze it.
