extremely played team
I think under Jacques, we were very much a team that played extremely well defensively,
close played toronto until
Toronto played well. It was close right until the end.
best break buffalo build came confidence played playing since team test
We know that we have been playing well since the break and Buffalo has probably been the best team we have played in a while. We know that it was a big test for us and we came out on top. It is going to build our confidence even more.
desperate played slump teams
We've had some injuries, we went into a slump and we've played some teams that are more desperate than us in some cases.
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.
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.
calm great looked nervous played
He played great and he looked really calm in there, not nervous at all,
bit energy funk throughout top
I think we had more energy than them throughout the night, ... I think they're in a bit of a funk now. But I think once they get going, they're going to be one of the top teams.
bad handle
I think we know how to handle the bad ice. I don't have any concerns.
happen knew situation
I think we were in a situation (with Martin) where we knew all the drills by heart. We'd do some different things, but you kind of knew what was going to happen day-to-day.
battle expecting puck ready team tough
I think we're ready to play them when the puck drops, and we're expecting a battle for 60 minutes. When we do play 60 minutes, we're a tough team to beat.
believed seven teams tournament win
I said even before this tournament that I thought seven teams could win this and I really believed that.
definitely miss team thoughts tough work
We're definitely going to miss him. There's no question. But there's some things that are more important than hockey. He's going through some tough times and our thoughts are with him and his family, obviously. We'll just have to come through this as a team and work that much harder.
