It's not something we look forward to, going down two goals, but that happened three times on the road the last couple of weeks. To win those games is pretty impressive.
I expect (the same) kind of treatment in the playoffs. For the good of the game, (everybody) expects the penalties to be called the same way.
It fired up our will when we heard things like the more the series went on, the tougher it would go for us. Those were just motivation points for us.
It doesn't really bother us. They gotta give good reasons to their fans why they've been losing to us this year.
All you try to do is get open. He's one of the few guys who will be able to find you anywhere.
I thought we gained a lot of experience. I was surprised by how we kept our composure.
I'm still far away from coming back. I can't really push off yet or take off in a hurry. Pivoting gives me a hard time still. But it's just fun to be back around the guys and having the chance to skate with them a little bit.
I think we're sitting in a good position. I don't think we have a team right now to win the Stanley Cup, to be honest with you, but we have a lot of room under the salary cap, and we can make some moves.
It makes us angry but there's nothing we can do about it. The only positive is that Tucker is going to play golf and we're going to the playoffs.
I don't think people realize how much Teppo's going to help our team. But everyone knows we need a little more help on defense. I know it's not from lack of trying.
It was tough. When something like that happens, you realize that hockey's a game, life is life, and that there are more important things in life than hockey.
There's no doubt in my mind that we're going to get it turned around. We see the light at the end of the tunnel. ... There's no doubt in my mind that it's going to make us a better team and a stronger team.
That's huge mentally, not just the two points in the standings.
It's really great to have Miro back in the lineup.
