advantage chance gave nice ourselves passing power took win
We took advantage of (a) power play we had at 5-on-3 and gave ourselves a chance to win with the nice passing play.
best keys missed obviously power
When he was out, you could really tell how much we missed him. He's one of the best defensemen in the world, I think, and probably very underrated. He jump-starts a lot of our offense, not just our power play, but obviously he's one of the keys on our power play as well.
cost simple tried
We've got to play smarter, there's no question. We tried to keep it simple in our own end and when we didn't, it cost us right away.
advantage best took tough wrong
Buffalo's goaltending wasn't the best they had, and we took advantage of that. When you get off on the wrong foot, it's tough to get back, and I think that's what we did to their goalies.

beat believe four regular respect season strong taking
I don't know why we would be over confident. We respect them and we believe that they're a strong team. We don't think just because we beat them four times during the regular season we should be taking anything for granted.
good question
He's a good goalie, there's no question about that.
games good sure today
He didn't say too much. I'm not sure why he didn't play today but I'm sure with the back-to-back games ... it's good for us just to have him around.
happen pressure takes
He can make things happen from nothing and from nowhere. He takes pressure off guys.
behind conference everybody executive okay support sure
This was Ted's idea. He had the support on the (Aug. 31) conference call, but he wanted to make sure that everybody was okay with him being the executive director. Hopefully, we'll be able to put this all behind us.
allowed controlled gave good obviously puck start
We controlled the puck pretty well. We got off to a good start start, and obviously that gave us the win. It put them back on their heels. That allowed us to play a lot smarter.
