carried
There were times when he just carried us.
bad goal third
That was a bad goal in the third and I can't do that. I went down and it just got right through me. I don't know how it got through.
gives guys home playoff spot team winning
That's kind of cool, but the other guys had a lot to do with it, too. I feel good, and when you're winning and securing a playoff spot and home ice, that gives the whole team confidence.
When it was all over, it was a pretty big relief.
basically
I was basically in the room, and they told me to get out there. It's tough, but I have to be ready.
confident guys matter roll
I'm pretty confident in myself, especially with the guys here. It's just a matter of ... getting on a roll and just keep going.
chance early extremely huge needed tough
It was huge ? we really needed that win. We know they're extremely tough in their own building, just like we are. So every chance we get for an early win, we've got to take it.
contain style tight top win
They've probably got some of the top forwards in the game. We've just got to contain them. We have to play a grinding, hard, tight style and show that we can win the one-goal games.
coming mentally pressure questions stuff trying
Not physically, just mentally and all the pressure and all the questions coming in and the thoughts, trying to get all the stuff out of my head. It was tough. The first game's out of the way.
pieces
The more pieces you have to a process, the more expensive.
cheesy counting maybe people rather received retire shoot
It was a cheesy goal. Someone else should have received it. I don't even like counting one like that as a goal. I'd much rather shoot one and saucer it down and in. Maybe when I retire I can tell people that's how it happened.
bald front guy head seen
I want to play well in front of the fans. They've just seen this guy with the bald head on the end of the bench. They probably don't know if I can play or not.
beat elite good jump power reason scoring seems teams
A lot of times it seems like for some reason if we're not scoring on the power play we don't seem to have a lot of jump or things like that. If you want to be an elite team, you've got to beat the good teams and right now we're not doing that.
chance five four good help job saves team though time turn
I think that's the first time in about four or five years I've let in five goals. I've got to do a better job to give the team a chance to win. Even though there were some good shots, those can be the kind of saves that help your team turn things around.
