games power worked
These are real important games right now. Tonight, the power play worked really well.
bit couple hershey hockey mature people played pro
He's a rookie, but he's 23 years old. He's had some pro experience, he's played a couple years in Hershey (of the American Hockey League). ... So I think he's a little bit more mature than people think he is.
forward looking
I'm going to be a little more in the spotlight, and I'm looking forward to it.
bad depth few net scoring teams tools win
Obviously, we're not some of the teams in the past. We don't have as much depth as we had in the past, scoring wise. We did play bad a few games, and with Patrick (Roy) in net and (Peter) Forsberg and all the tools we had offensively, we could still win the game.
chances created felt few games maybe past skating
For us to be successful, I've said it many times, we need to be skating. I felt with our skating we've created a lot chances the past few games and, yes, we did get a few bounces going our way. But I think with our skating we created a lot of opportunities and maybe that's what created those bounces.
game gentleman great guys last realize respectful
He's a great person. You guys have been around him for the last little while and you realize how much of a gentleman he is and how respectful of the game he is.
few games next possible soon starts stop
I haven't done much stop and starts but probably will over the next few days. Hopefully, I'd like to come back as soon as possible and play as many games as possible before the playoffs.
approach game happened playoff since single win
It's never happened in this organization since I've been here, so it's going to be a gut-check. We have to approach every game as if it was a playoff game and we need to win every single one of them.
stretch team won
This team over the years has always been through a stretch where we won 13 or 14 out of 15 or 16 games. That's what we need to do right now.
happen home last stretch win
We just didn't want to see the same thing happen as we did last week. This was an important win for us and this is a very important home stretch for us.
game hold playoffs sure
We have to make sure we hold on to that (the lead). In the playoffs it's really important that once you are up by one or two (goals) that the game is over.
few lucky
We got a few lucky bounces. We're very fortunate.
games missed penalty power won
We missed a lot of opportunities, especially in the third, on the power play. In the playoffs, the games are often won on the power play and penalty kill. And our penalty kill has been great.
caught course games last maybe period playing
We got caught sleeping. We've been playing so well in the first period over the course of the last 10 games and tonight, maybe we were a little over confident.
