ahead kept knew penalties puck time tired tough
You could tell how tired they were. They couldn't get anything going. We knew as long as we kept the puck ahead of us and didn't take any penalties then they would have a tough time scoring.
coach create knows
The coach knows we can create things and we did.
biggest game great obviously tone year
This is a great opportunity. We don't want to have to go back to Florida. We obviously know that this is the biggest game of the year for us and we want to go out there and set the tone right away.
biggest chance game great ready team tonight tough winning
You've got to be ready to play any team in this league, and we wanted to be ready tonight and I think we were in the first period. I think that's the biggest thing for us. If we go out there and give it a great effort, we're a tough team to beat. We've got a great chance of winning every game now, and that should be our mind-set.
best both defense exciting offense plays teams
I think it should be a pretty exciting series. There's no question, I think both teams have a lot of offense and I think the team that plays the best defense is probably going to win, but I think there should be some fast-paced hockey.
against following nice rangers strong
It is nice to see us following up after a big win against the Rangers and come out and play strong again.
close game tie
If you play well, you make your own luck. Obviously, it was close for them to tie the game up, but overall, I thought we were the better team.
ahead enjoy far few hard ottawa question
It's hard to think that far ahead right now but once I get back to Ottawa there's no question there's more things that need to be done this year. But I'm going to try and enjoy this for a few days, first.
crowd maybe struggle win
It's been a big struggle for us and it's frustrating. Especially at home. You come back like we did and get the crowd into it and then can't win it for them. Maybe we've got to try some different shooters because we're not having success.
anymore easier fighting great guys hard holding momentum neutral spirit stop tougher zone
It's great to see a fighting spirit in us and not quitting. It used to be a lot easier holding guys up in the neutral zone and making it a lot tougher for the other guys to come in to fore check. You can't do that anymore so once you get some momentum it's hard to stop it.
chance great
It's great to have a chance to go out the right way.
flat third
It's disappointing to see how flat we were in the third period,' said Julien.
came needed nice stops
It was nice to see. He came in and made the big stops when he needed to.
affect betting black game hockey integrity mark obviously until
The integrity of the game is obviously very important. And betting on hockey is obviously something we don't want. Until you know all the facts, you don't know how it's going to affect the game or put a black mark on it.
