gets points
Even when he bends, he doesn't break. He just gets us two points every time.
happen ill toward
Those things happen in hockey. I have no ill will toward (Kovalev).
good matter needed point points time
We needed the point. It didn't matter who scored. One point at a time isn't good enough. We need two points every night.
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.
fragile gave lost mentally psyche seems
We gave up that first goal, and bang, it seems like we lost our confidence. Our psyche is fragile right now. We need to be mentally tougher.
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.
wise opportunity different
Maybe I was cast into a different role (in Montreal) and it seemed to follow me around wherever I went, ... Everyone is skeptical until you produce. It's up to me from this point forward. I'm going to get an opportunity to maybe take on a bigger role leadership-wise and offensively.
stupid hockey thinking
I'm on the third line. I'm a crasher. I know my role. I'm just trying to help. I'm not stupid enough to think I'm great out there.
hockey want
You want it? Work for it.
heart play like-you
You live to play in the playoffs. It's like your heart is ripped out.
winning littles hopefully
If we can continue to win, hopefully they can falter a little down the stretch.
