consider dressing happens heat hopefully penalty until
It was in the heat of the moment. I didn't really know what the penalty was for until I got to the dressing room. It was one of those things that happens in a game. Hopefully they will consider that.
whirlwind
Sometimes you have to go through a whirlwind to get stronger.
corner hit looking puck quick room tried
I was looking at the puck in the corner and I don't know what happened. It hit my eyeball, so I tried to get to the room as quick as I could.
players prove sure tough
I don't think it was necessarily just the players' decision. I think (Hartley) should be accountable, but that's not for me to say. It's tough to prove something like that and I'm sure their players aren't going to say anything.
eyes precious
It makes you sick. Eyes are a precious thing.
anybody game hit obviously stick within
I hit a guy. I didn't hit him with my knee. I don't think I did anything in the wrong. . . . I always look out for my own battles. If there's things that come within the game that they don't like, obviously I'll stick up for myself. I don't need anybody else to stick up for me.
happen ill toward
Those things happen in hockey. I have no ill will toward (Kovalev).
meetings score
We've had enough closed-door meetings this year. We don't need another one - the score said it all.
conviction match passion scoring waves
We have to have some conviction in our game. They're going to come in waves and we have to match that intensity, match their passion for scoring goals.
played
We've played with each other long enough to know where to go and what to do.
quit
We're not going to quit and we just have to keep working.
afforded looking luxury past
We're not afforded the luxury of looking past any games.
lost montreal since time
We've said since the time we lost the two Montreal games, we won't quit.
few guys putting quite
There are some things that are off-limits, that's the way it should be. Putting a few guys in the washroom, I find it actually quite amusing.
