compete game good high proved teams
We want to show that we can compete with the good teams and we can be there and we're (in this position) not by accident. I think tonight's game proved it, that we can play at a high level.
details hard practices work
Practices are completely different. We work hard and we concentrate on the details we have to do in the game.
cranky happy kept maybe players saying talk
He doesn't look very happy and when he's cranky you don't want to talk to him. It's playoffs. Everything is kept secret, even from us, maybe because they don't want players saying something stupid. I know as much as you do.
pittsburgh situation wish won
You kind of look back and wish we had won at Pittsburgh (last Thursday), but that's not the situation right now.
anybody confidence game positive referee stay
We're all frustrated. When the game was over, you want to go after the referee - you want to go after anybody - because it hurts. We just have to stay positive and get our confidence back.
bottles hockey looks mark odd skates solid sticks throwing
You always see Mark as a hockey player. It's going to be odd to see him without the skates on. To me, Mark looks more like a GM, he always has this solid look. I don't see Mark throwing bottles and sticks on the ice.
simpler
We have to be more gritty, more hitting. We probably have to play much simpler hockey.
