guys seen situations team though
We are the champions. We should feel comfortable going in that we've seen situations that some of their guys haven't, even though they are the better team this year. But I think we play better as the underdog, so if we are, it will be to our advantage.
ask games guys hours job marty rest senators tired top
Let's be honest, you don't want to go down two games to the Senators and we just had to give it our all. We're pretty tired right now but we're going to have 48 hours to rest up. Our top guys did the job tonight. (Richards) had a big goal, Marty got a big goal, that's all you can ask from those guys.
couple guys interviews pulled room training
I did a couple of interviews with you guys right after and I still didn't know. On the way to the training room, they pulled me into the coaches' room and let me know.
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.
guys
The guys who went there then wanted to be part of something.
against believe couple cup everybody good guys huge last monkey playoff point road seen stanley sudden sure tough win
Everybody was pretty sure we were done, there was probably no point in even going out. We really do believe in ourselves. A couple of years ago this was not a playoff team. We weren't even on the road map, then all of a sudden we are Stanley Cup champions. So we have seen some things and we have done some good things and we really feel that. We just need to get that monkey off our back with these guys. It's been tough against these guys in the last little while. That's a huge win for us.
avoided couple defensive goal mistakes shot worst
Our first goal is on the worst shot of the night. But we could have avoided making a couple of mistakes in our defensive zone.
pressure
Ottawa. Wow. They've had our number. ... But there'll be pressure on them.
aggressive counting cup few maybe next passive people picked playoffs tweak won year
Some people are probably already counting us out, maybe not even picked us to make the playoffs next year, who knows. I think we need to tweak a few things here and there. The thing that won us a Cup two years ago was just how aggressive we played. I think at times this year we were just passive in our play.
ourselves proved situation sure
We let it get away for sure and we've been in that situation before. We proved to ourselves that we can play with them.
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.
goal ideally past reduce risen taxpayer ten wonderful
We'd like to stabilize the taxpayer subsidy which you know has risen over the past ten years, ideally it would be wonderful to reduce that, but really our goal here is to stabilize that.
enjoy
We're going to enjoy this for as long as we can.
definitely focus
We'll be fine. We know what is at stake. The focus definitely will be there. We know how important this is.
