experience factor solid
I think Janne was a very solid player. You could tell the experience factor was on his side.
I thought it was a revved up game. I think that's what you're going to see going forward.
blocked chances couple goals key shoot
I thought it was excellent. We blocked a lot of lanes and didn't give them a lot to shoot at, and on the chances they did get to the net, Turco was real good. We got a couple of big goals but the penalty-killing was the key for us.
focal game sure
You have to fine-tune. We try to go into each game and say, 'Here's a focal point.' We want to make sure going in that things are right.
earn good
You have to earn the right to be a good team. You have to earn it every day during the season.

Marty will play tomorrow. We expect Marty to be a top goaltender every night. Whether he expects it or not, that's the role we put him in, and he has to take that responsibility and give us a chance to win every night.
focused marty past rest year
Marty has been focused all year on the future. This year, he's in a groove. He's just like the rest of us. The past is the past, and he's going to do what he's done for us and play well.

I wonder how the whole series has affected him.
game hockey honest looking sloppy
When you play sloppy like that, you get what you deserve. You're just looking for an honest hockey game from your team, and for the most part we got it. We didn't get it from everybody.
