confidence far game looking night rest team win
The way we're feeling, the confidence that we have in each other, we know we can win every night and every game. The rest of the season, it's win each game. We're not looking to look too far ahead. Now it's just one game at a time, one team at a time.
confidence draw home remember road win
I remember my first road win was pretty big and I got a lot of confidence from that. I think you draw a lot of what you do at home from when you're on the road.
best far hopefully knew pad short
I knew I had the short side, so all they had was the far side. Hopefully if it was any closer, hopefully I would've got a pad on it. Posts are your best friends, and I got one (Saturday).
guess happy pulled speculate team
I guess you can speculate all you want. I'm just happy that the team pulled through.
approach best compromise convince hopefully might quite strategy talk taught
But he taught that back in the day. We talk about things. If things aren't working out quite the way we want it to, then we talk. It might take some yelling, but you convince each other that this way is best or you compromise and hopefully come up with the best strategy as to how you're going to approach that save.
blood gets guys heart means realize release saying script seeing taking trophy true won
I don't think the true release has actually come. We won a game, but we don't even realize what we just did. This means so much to everybody; you just can't put it into words. Just saying it right now gets into your blood and your heart pumping. Seeing that trophy with those guys out there taking pictures, you couldn't write a better script for an ending.
call feedback friday game guys hopefully tuesday watching yelling
It's going to be different. I've never experienced that. I think I'll be yelling at the screen. I think I'll be yelling at the refs. I think it's just going to be like watching an NHL game on a Tuesday night. I'll be watching and hopefully give some feedback to the guys if they give me a call Friday night.
allowed careful good hit ruts sign
That's always a good sign when you're allowed out on the ice. I've just got to be careful to not hit any ruts (in the ice) and not do anything fancy. Just working that way, slowly, should get me back faster.
good shots
They're a good team, getting that many shots on us.
definitely direction room ship turn
There's definitely some room (to improve). We wanted to turn the ship around and get it in the right direction, but that's a long process.
games kinds though
These kinds of games are always though to play in. You know you're not going to get a lot of shots.

The guys in front of me have been unreal lately. Just blocking shots, as we say in the locker room, organ donating. Everybody is just all out and you can't say enough about the guys in front of you.

The guys in front of me have been playing unreal lately just diving and blocking shots. They say in the dressing room they're organ donors.
blocking bodies everybody good guys job putting
The guys did a good job blocking shots. Everybody was putting their bodies on the line.
