guys instead league mindset playing rewarded sitting
I think it's a different mindset this year. You see how the guys are doing it and you see the possibilities. And you're playing more offensively, so I think the mindset is a lot different in the league right now, too. I think you're getting rewarded for going on the offense, instead of sitting back.
games
Some games will have more chances, more goals. It's as long as we get the W (that matters).
chasing good
That's the way it is in this building. They're a good team. If you're not 100% ready, they'll have you chasing the puck. That's what happened.
best power
The power play was probably the best we've had it all year.
good start team
We wanted to get off to a good start and this is a team we should beat.
game goals hard mistakes period road three
We kind of game them two of the three goals in the first period with mistakes we made. It's hard to play on the road that way.
expected happen kicking mistake understand
We kind of expected him to be suspended. Kicking has no part in this game. I understand the suspension. It's tough. Things happen so quick, but you shouldn't kick anyone. I think he realizes his mistake and I don't think you will see him do that again.
close played toronto until
Toronto played well. It was close right until the end.
good road team
We have been a good road team all year. We've been very consistent, but I think we're even better at home. I think we are going to show that Saturday. We have to if we want to win.
coming knew playing washington win work
We knew Washington has been playing well. They work hard. Coming up with a win was big for us, no question.
anybody call careful happened league rather recently worry
You know the league has to be careful with what's happened recently (in New Orleans) and they're going to make the right call because they don't want to put anybody in danger. This is not something you can worry about because you can't do anything about it. As players, we would rather play.
chance group last test tough trying
We know this could be the last chance for this group to play together. We're trying not to think too much about it or make much of it. This is going to be a tough test for us.
against games good strong tough year
We know they're going to be a tough test. They're a strong team, they've got a lot of speed. We've had tough games against them all year and this should be a good series.
almost defensive lead minutes protect switch third three tough tried turn
We get the lead three minutes into the third and it's almost like we tried to protect it too much, that we were in too defensive of a mode. It's tough to turn the switch back on.
