far
It's far from done, but we did get something accomplished.
bounce good loss regroup result worst
It was probably the worst loss of the season. Not just the result but the way we played, we were undisciplined. It was good to regroup and bounce back.
catch chance corner given instead might
That might have given me a chance to deke instead of shoot, but I did catch it out of the corner of my eye.
both front looking practice pressure skated sure teams today
They are very aggressive. Teams are going to know that I play back there, I'm sure they'll put more pressure on me. Today at practice I skated up front so I think we're looking to take a little pressure off that situation. But I'm comfortable in both spots.
build came early goal good hard looking power ready saw
They came at us pretty hard and it was a good pace, and you could tell they were ready to play the game. They get the early power play and you're looking to kill it off. To get a goal was a boost, and you saw us build on that to get a 4-1 lead.
oil release
You can release all the oil you want from the SPR, but to make gas, you need refineries.
hard proven start win
The hard part for us was getting in. We feel now we can start over here and try to do something. We have proven we can win in the playoffs.
atmosphere cool guys tampa
The guys are all back here in Tampa and we're real excited, ... The city's been unbelievable, very enthusiastic. It's pretty cool to see, the atmosphere hasn't changed.
game goal good grab help hold johnny time tonight
The goal deflated us, but we didn't grab a hold of ourselves; we went the other way and it snowballed on us. It's a time of the game where we have to help Johnny out and get back in the game, and we didn't do that tonight and that's why it went that way. It's not good enough right now.
bad bruise
I think it's just a bad bruise for now.
best either game picking plan played team
We plan on picking it a notch. We have to. I don't think either team has played its best game yet.
hearing hold puck sick talented talking win
It shouldn't be like this. We know what to do and what to do to make it happen. We are all sick of hearing about it and talking about it. We have to do it. We have to win the battles. We are talented enough to win the puck and hold the puck.
anxious happy
It's been an anxious time, for sure, and they're all very happy and very proud.
finally hopefully start
It's been one of those years. We feel now that finally we got in, we can start over here hopefully and try to do something.
