brief few good looked moments periods team
I think we just started to play hockey. It was pretty torturous for the first two periods there. We had a few brief moments in there where we did play good or looked all right, but, for the most part, we looked like a pee-wee team out there.
figure games great pressure talk
We figure out how many games do we have left; how many (points) do you have; it's a big thing for him and there's a lot of pressure on him. It's not something we necessarily talk about, but we do the math. It would be a great achievement.
playing typical wait
Typical Devils-type game. They wait for you to make a mistake. They've been playing that way for a long time.
beat giving ourselves playing
You look at the way the season's gone, if we're not there, we get beat pretty bad. If we're playing the way we can, we're in games, giving ourselves a chance.
distance feels good win
To go the distance like that, that's a good win for us. And it feels good in overtime.
break bury definitely few guys
We definitely had our chances. We bury a few of those chances, and it's a different game. Get a little break from the guys upstairs, and it's a different game. But we had our chances.
achieve great guy interviews knows says thinking tough year
Yeah, definitely, it's a pretty big thing. I know in interviews he says he's not thinking about it, but I think everyone kind of knows better. ... For everyone having such a tough year here, I think to have a guy achieve that this year would be great for our team.
behind blocked coming game games good great happen job keeping neutral period shots win zone
We're just keeping things simple. Philly's a great team, and I thought we did a good job of getting behind their 'D' and making things happen and coming through the neutral zone with speed. After the first period I think we were a little slow, but we got going as the game went on. We blocked shots and killed penalties, and to win games you have to do that.
gets players special top watch
When he gets that puck, he makes things happen. It's pretty special to watch him play the way he does. When he's at the top of his game, he's up there with the top players in the league.
rip
Hopefully, they can rip it up. It should be pretty fun.
double hit shocked
He hit me pretty hard; it kind of shocked me right off the bat. And they scored too, so it was like a double shot. But we battled back.
achievement focus great kid shoot talk wants
He doesn't like to talk about it. He wants to focus on playing. But it would be a great accomplishment for an 18-year-old kid - and, with all the things we've been through this season, it's great we still have something to shoot for.
matter playing scoring system
We're playing the system well right now. It's just a matter of scoring goals.
arms both ends hands looked threw touching
When he threw his arms out there at the end, it looked like his hands were touching both ends of the rink, he's so big.
