Danny has always been full of energy, and he has always worked hard. But I think he has become a smarter player, and he?s beginning to realize that he can play in the league.

It?s about winning games right now. Marc Denis, the way he played (Wednesday), he makes it an easy decision right now.
basically exhibition feet guys needed periods playing playoffs team
I told our guys between periods that we're playing a team that's basically in the playoffs right now, and we look like it's an exhibition game. We needed to get our feet moving.
coming good team
It's coming around. We have a pretty good team here when we're healthy.
adam compete definitely guy hard knew players push team
This is definitely a big step. I knew our team was going to get better this year, with or without Adam Foote. Now, with the free-agent market, we get a guy like Adam. He will push our players to be better and they're going to compete hard every night.
funny hockey might team took turn win
Once it took that long, I thought it might be a goal. I thought it might be kind of funny where one team celebrates and then they're going to turn it over and we're going to win the hockey game.
days fatigue four game third three
It was our third game in four nights, and (Detroit) had three days off. I don?t know if fatigue had anything to do with it, but it?s still disappointing. Because after 25 minutes, we were right there.

It was the longest three hours of my life, there's no doubt about that.

It was a great hockey game, it was our most complete game of the season. We got out to an early 3-1 lead and held on after that. Our team played very well. Marc Denis made some key saves.
deserved good leading playing
They're playing as a team, that's why they're winning, that's why they're leading their division. They deserved the win, with a good goalie and good defense.

It took us a period to get our legs underneath us. I think playing back-to-back nights caught up to them (the Kings) later in the game.
legs period took underneath
It took us a period to get our legs underneath us.
difference hard period plays power second took
The first period we competed hard and battled hard and had some power plays and just couldn't capitalize. In the second they had some power plays and they took advantage. That was the difference in the game. After the first period they just took it to us.
great period
The first period was a great period for us. We capitalized on our chances.
