learned salt
A lot of us learned from Salt Lake, and we learned that if you're not ready, anything can happen.
goals happen period played seemed took waiting
They played well in the first period and got up 2-0 on us. We scored some big short-handed goals that really got us going. It seemed like we were waiting for something to happen and when it did, we took over.
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.
handled showcase trying
They're just trying to showcase themselves. I thought we handled it well.
fools gave good lost maybe penalties position touched
Once we killed off my penalties, that gave us a lot of momentum. It's something I shouldn't have done, but I had such good position on St. Louis, there's no way I touched him. Maybe it's not the referee's fault, (St. Louis) dives and fools the referee. We were getting a lot of penalties and I just lost it.
controlled definitely game penalty turned
That turned the game definitely in our favor. When we got a 4-minute penalty after that, I think we controlled the game pretty good.
conference playoffs
This conference playoffs is going to be very tough.
fun hard knew lose ready time tonight tried
We tried hard today, there's no question. We knew there's not a lot of time between tonight and tomorrow. It's not fun to lose anytime, but we have to be ready for tomorrow.
break puck supporting turning
We couldn't even break out of our own end. We weren't supporting each other at all and we were turning the puck over way too many times.
backs challenge desperate great playing pull wall win
We have to look at this as a great challenge for us because they're going to be playing pretty desperate hockey. They've got their backs to the wall and they have to win. This would be a big win for us if we're able to pull it off.
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.
happy
I'm happy it was Fisher, ... because he's pretty good-looking.
ray
If Ray doesn't play as well as he did in the first period, we're down more than a goal.
break helped injured knowing olympic playing struggling time
Before the Olympic break he was struggling a little bit, as was the team. I think the break rejuvenated him. Knowing that Dom was injured and he was going to get some playing time helped him relax.
