extremely played team
I think under Jacques, we were very much a team that played extremely well defensively,
centre certainly desire fair fun looking pressure takes team watch
He's going to play a big part on this team this year. I don't think it's fair to put too much pressure on him but we're looking for him to probably be a No. 1 centre and I think he has what it takes to do it and he certainly has the desire so it's going to be fun to watch him this year.
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.
goal good prepare season stanley teams
That's our goal, no question. We prepare every season like that. We know it's going to be hard. There's a lot of good teams out there, but our goal has been, from the beginning, to be there challenging for the Stanley Cup.
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.
bad felt good start super team win
I told myself not to try to think about it too much. I felt not bad actually, not super but pretty good overall. It was a good win especially because we wanted to get off to a good start and this is a team we should beat.
special teams tonight tough
Our special teams tonight were the difference. Five-on-five, I think we were the better team. It's a tough loss.
believed seven teams tournament win
I said even before this tournament that I thought seven teams could win this and I really believed that.
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.
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.
