believed seven teams tournament win
I said even before this tournament that I thought seven teams could win this and I really believed that.
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.
believe chance exciting good knowing playoffs teams
We believe we have a good chance this year, and we're going to make the most of it. It's real exciting to be able to be part of the playoffs again, knowing that we're one of the teams that has a chance to go all the way.
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.
best dare maybe offense pay playing puck respecting scoring teams
Sometimes offense is the best defense. Like I said, I think we're playing with the puck a lot more, and I think because we're scoring so many goals, I think teams are respecting us and they don't dare to go on the offense as much as maybe they did before because they know we are going to make them pay if they make a mistake.
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.
best both defense exciting offense plays teams
I think it should be a pretty exciting series. There's no question, I think both teams have a lot of offense and I think the team that plays the best defense is probably going to win, but I think there should be some fast-paced hockey.
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.
extremely played team
I think under Jacques, we were very much a team that played extremely well defensively,
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.
definitely miss thoughts time tough
We're definitely going to miss him. There are things that are more important than hockey. He's going through a tough time and our thoughts are with him.
