catch cut empty knew net pass perfect saw shoot
I knew if I got there that he would get me that puck. When I saw him cut to the middle, I had to try to catch up to him. He made just a perfect pass and I had the empty net to shoot at.
sold unique
I'm just like, 'Exhibition game. Sold out?' ... It's unbelievable. It's a unique thing here in Minnesota. There's no question.
I had an idea of what I wanted to do when I went out there. I faked the forehand and went backhand and it went under his arm.
arm behind chance common common-sense goal good guess mean puck underneath
I didn't see the replay, but common sense will tell you that if the glove and the arm are behind the goal line, there's a pretty good chance the puck is underneath it. I guess common sense doesn't mean anything there.
good
I feel as good as I ever have in my career.
buy create gone seeing
I don't like it and I don't buy it. You create rivalries in the playoffs, not seeing them over and over. I don't think it's gone as well as they thought it would.
choose good pick teams
If I had more teams to choose from, I wouldn't pick any other place to be. This organization, the team, the coach, everything about it has been very positive. It's been a good fit.
games next three
The next three games are going to be big.
good luckily post relax stressful
You try to make a good shot, and luckily it went off the post and went in. It's a stressful situation, and you try to relax as much as you can.
listen next prepared
I told him it was in. He said, 'Are you sure?' I said I'm positive. He was getting prepared for the next shot. I don't think he wanted to listen to what I had to say.
biggest five game huge needed road shots stopping
The biggest story of the game was Manny (Fernandez) stopping five shots in a row. All we needed was one and I got it. This was a huge road win.
produce
I've got to produce if we want to be successful.
produce rely
I've had a lot of chances, but they're not going in. I've got to produce if we want to be successful. We can't rely on Gabby every night.
power toughest
Their power play is pretty deadly, one of the toughest to play against.
