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.
enjoy everybody experience fresh great last might older olympic opportunity playoff race start starts tournament
It's a fresh start for him. He doesn't have to think about the playoff race or anything. Everybody starts at zero. It's a great opportunity for us. We're getting older and it might be our last big tournament for our country. I think he's just going to enjoy the Olympic experience and make the most of the opportunity.
extremely played team
I think under Jacques, we were very much a team that played extremely well defensively,
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.
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.
confidence great playing
Ray's been playing great for us and we have a lot of confidence in him.
confidence great job lacking missing night playing start struggling sure team
Right now, I think we're playing a team that's struggling and lacking confidence big time, and missing some guys. With the start we got it kind of made them feel like it was going to be a long night and we made sure we didn't let up on anything. We did a great job all night.
conference playoffs
This conference playoffs is going to be very tough.
call conference everybody feels players support sure ted vote
Ted wanted this vote to make sure everybody was on board. He had the support of the players on the conference call (Monday), but he thought we should have the vote so that everybody feels comfortable with him.
calm great looked nervous played
He played great and he looked really calm in there, not nervous at all,
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.
happen pressure takes
He can make things happen from nothing and from nowhere. He takes pressure off guys.
laid
(St. Louis) just laid down. (But) I shouldn't have done it.
