biggest game great obviously tone year
This is a great opportunity. We don't want to have to go back to Florida. We obviously know that this is the biggest game of the year for us and we want to go out there and set the tone right away.
biggest felt game
The biggest thing we had in this game was the passion. From the beginning, we wanted this game, and the Czechs felt 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.
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.
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.
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.
december definitely four games good half improve night olympic ourselves pushing road schedule second slow tougher trying
Obviously, it's going to get tougher, I think, in the second half because of the schedule and the Olympics. So, I think, right now, we're making the most of a good schedule for our team. I think we have only four road games in this month, and then December is tougher for us. But definitely after the Olympic break, we have a tougher schedule. But the way we're going now, I don't think we should slow down and we just have to keep pushing ourselves every night and keep trying to improve to be better.
close game tie
If you play well, you make your own luck. Obviously, it was close for them to tie the game up, but overall, I thought we were the better team.
happen pressure takes
He can make things happen from nothing and from nowhere. He takes pressure off guys.
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.
laid
(St. Louis) just laid down. (But) I shouldn't have done it.
looks shape stronger
He is in much better shape overall. He's a lot stronger ... he looks good.
flat third
It's disappointing to see how flat we were in the third period,' said Julien.
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.
