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.
either good looked saw solid team tired win
We were just solid as a team and you could see that they didn't have much. They looked like a tired team that wanted to get home. I don't think (Huet) saw either of those shots. That's a good win for us. Now, we have to keep it going.
best decisions interest past players
We made decisions in the past that were in the best interest of all the players in the union, not for ourselves, that's for sure,
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.
bad caught ourselves playing puck turning
We started off not bad in the first but after that I don't know what we were doing. We kind of started playing by ourselves ... and we got caught turning the puck over way too many times and couldn't really find our game.
catch looking
We're looking up at Carolina. We want to catch them.

When you see it leading off CNN or Fox Sports, you know it's a big story.
move puck skilled team tough
We're a very skilled team. When we move the puck the way we're capable, we're a tough team to play.
team thinking ice
I think it's just a coincidence that the North American teams are out. Most of us here have been playing in North America for a long time. Our knowledge of the big ice has been world championships here and there, same for the Canadians and the Americans. I don't see it as an advantage.
definitely miss pull team together tough
We definitely will miss him, no question, but some things are more important than hockey. He's going through some tough times with his family. We'll just have to pull together as a team and play well without him.
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.
believe chance exciting good knowing playoffs teams
We believe we have a good chance this year, and we're going to make the most of it. It's real exciting to be able to be part of the playoffs again, knowing that we're one of the teams that has a chance to go all the way.
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.

When the team plays well, good things happen for the individuals as well. I got some good breaks tonight and was able to put them away.
