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.
It's a relief to know exactly what's going on.
It's a win for us. That's what matters the most. Lately they've been tough to come by. Even though we blew the lead, the win feels good.
It's my first time walking normally. The first few days it was just kind of bent over, walking slowly.
That's why we're a good team. We keep finding ways to win and there's no doubt it doesn't matter who scores. ... The depth of our team is what makes the difference and it showed tonight.
It's not about one or two lines or one or two players on this team. There's something special here.
Having such a long losing streak, it made us take a look at everything and make sure we made the adjustments. Hopefully, we realize that. I really meant it when I said, 'This is going to make us a better team.
Hopefully it will keep us going in the right direction.
I have no problem looking at the standings when we walk in the door. But before making comments like that you should look at yourself in the mirror and look where you're standing and why you're losing all those games.
Hopefully this is a big confidence-builder and keeps us going in the right direction.
It's just the same. It's just not going away. It's not improving. It hasn't been worse than it was since the Pittsburgh game, but it's not getting better, either, so that's the frustrating side.
I guess if it's accidental there's a good chance you might get suspended. If it's on purpose then I guess it's OK. It makes me angry, but there's nothing we can do about it. The only positive thing is that Tucker is going to play golf, and we're going to the playoffs.
They're tight games. I thought tonight we had the better chances.
