centre certainly desire fair fun looking pressure takes team watch
He's going to play a big part on this team this year. I don't think it's fair to put too much pressure on him but we're looking for him to probably be a No. 1 centre and I think he has what it takes to do it and he certainly has the desire so it's going to be fun to watch him this year.
ray
If Ray doesn't play as well as he did in the first period, we're down more than a goal.
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.
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.
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.
hit peak
I don't think we hit our peak yet. I think we can get better.
chances goal hard obviously played team tries works
They are a young team that works really hard and tries to be a spoiler. We played well and had our chances and the first goal was going to be big obviously and it didn't go our way.
great head hope periods short shutting starts tournament
I hope not, but I think he is. In a short tournament like that, goaltending is huge. He's one of those goalies who can get in other people's heads. If he starts shutting you down after two periods you start thinking, and he's really great that way. He can get in your head for sure.
chance great
It's great to have a chance to go out the right way.
deep fact forget game half periods played puck second wore
The second half of the game I thought we played really well. We were able to get the puck in deep and we were able to keep them in their end for long periods of time, forget that fact we haven't done a whole lot lately, and we just wore them down, I think.
black near stick switched tape white
I used black tape the whole game, but switched to an old stick that had white near the end.
confidence
Things are going well, you know, and confidence is a big thing.
confidence finding
Right now, we've got a lot of confidence and we're finding each other on the ice.
bit energy funk throughout top
I think we had more energy than them throughout the night, ... I think they're in a bit of a funk now. But I think once they get going, they're going to be one of the top teams.
