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.
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.

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.
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.

I was basically in the room, and they told me to get out there. It's tough, but I have to be ready.

I've looked forward to this my whole life. This is what it's all about.

Our backs are against the wall. We can't afford to (mess) up anymore. This is it for us.
