We've been playing solid in games that didn't mean anything and tonight they came after us. We ran into penalty trouble in the second period. After that, we just tried to kill the clock.
We ran into a team that's really good. Nowadays, when the playoffs start, there's no underdogs.
I think we're all wondering how the game is going to be called, whether there is going to be a parade of players to the penalty box.
Manny's played really good. It's the best I've seen him play. I didn't see him play the last couple games, but (he) looks good.
I was just asking him how he was, and I said I was ready and he didn't have to push it if he was injured, and that was it, really.
We just came in and tried to play a simple road game and that's what's helped us be successful on the road this year. We're doing the little things right and finding ways to win games.
You knew it was going to happen sooner or later.
That was the best I've seen him play. When he plays like that, and they play stingy and they're opportunistic and they wait for their best chances, it's frustrating.
We weathered the storm. We seemed to play better as the game went along.
He doesn't really talk about his accomplishments too much. He seems to be getting better and better for the playoffs.
He doesn't really talk about his accomplishments too much. Half the time when he does accomplish something, nobody even knows it's coming up because he doesn't say anything or nobody else says anything. He has more goals than Mario ... he's been a pillar of strength for our organization.
We're playing tight defensively right now and that's what we want to maintain over the last little bit of games here. We want to continue keeping things simple, playing hard, and get on a roll heading into the playoffs.
I felt good from the start. Moving around early helped me.
I don't know why. I've just always enjoyed playing in this building and playing against them. It's just one of those things. I can't pinpoint it other than I like playing against them.
