chance giving special teams
You always have a chance when your special teams are on the job, especially on the road, and your goalie is giving you big saves.
both came fight minutes playing puck sides strong suddenly teams tough
Those things are all about timing. I thought for the first 10 minutes it was tough for both sides to get some shots. Both teams were playing very strong defensively. You have to fight for every inch, and suddenly a puck came loose.
against appreciate chip normal plays root tampa team teams
Right now, I root for any team that plays against Tampa Bay. I think it is only normal at this point. We need help, and any teams that want to chip in, we really appreciate their help.

This is a big step for us. Who knows how many points it's going to take to get into the playoffs. It's going to be a fight for us. Not many teams from our conference will leave this building with two points.
finish goes guys line marathon playoffs talent teams time wait year
This is the time of year you wait for, and we're right there. Guys who have never been in the playoffs before will feel that pressure. We're approaching the finish line of an 82-game season.

chance confidence definitely easy giving growing michael morning players playing reward
I said this morning that in this business, you have to reward the players that are playing well, and Michael Garnett is definitely giving us a chance to win. It's pretty easy to say his confidence is growing, and our confidence in him is growing also.
cheating early focus work
We don't focus on the little details. Right now we're squeezing, we're squeezing the stick. If we would get an early goal, but we think that by cheating we're going to get that early goal, but it doesn't work like this.
expect focus win
We don't focus on the little details. Right now, we're squeezing the stick. You can't expect to win like this.
