asked confidence everybody room scale seven win
Confidence is a big factor. I think if you went around the room right now and asked everybody on a scale of one to 10, you are not going to find too many seven or eights. We have to find a way to win some games.
counts downs goal rest saves score ups
If they score a goal there, it's a different game. That's what you want from your goalie. They are going to have ups and downs just like the rest of the team, but you want them to make the saves when it counts and he did that tonight.
benefit changes game good guys handle pieces
They're big pieces of our team. The changes in the game are going to benefit guys like that who can handle the puck. They're good for our team.
asked confidence game power scale
You want to have a game plan, but you need to see what they give us. We need that big power play goal. On a scale of 10, if you asked what our confidence is on the power play, you won't get a lot of eights, nines or 10s.
chance feels giving hard keeping ourselves playing sounds
It sounds simple, but we're just working hard. It feels like we're working hard and giving ourselves a chance and the goalies are playing really well and keeping us in the game.
guys
The guys who went there then wanted to be part of something.
definitely five forget four history hopefully obviously owned past period pressure team win
I definitely think we are going into this one as an underdog. They have pretty much owned us the past four or five years. There is a lot of pressure on that team to win over there and I think we play better when we are the underdogs. Hopefully we can go there and forget history, and obviously they have history on their side. That first game, that first period is going to be huge.
drop rookie
They've got a rookie goalie in there. We've got to, from the drop of the puck, just take it to them. Don't even let him think that he's got a chance.
seems
It seems to be the same old story.
folks good months playoffs sleeping thankful three until
That's the good thing. My folks were down for three months up until playoffs started, so I can be thankful they weren't there and I wasn't there, sleeping at night. It could've been a lot worse.
confidence direction hopefully needed putting start step string wins
We needed some confidence here and hopefully this is a step in the right direction and let's start putting a string of wins together.
definitely focus
We'll be fine. We know what is at stake. The focus definitely will be there. We know how important this is.
chance ourselves
We were embarrassed at home, embarrassed for ourselves and embarrassed for the fans. Now we have a chance to feel better about ourselves.
enjoy
We're going to enjoy this for as long as we can.
