coming habit loss winning
It is pre-season, but we're coming off a loss and we want to get into the winning habit at home.
couple excited playoff spot start thinking wanting win year
A couple years ago we were very excited just to clinch a playoff spot because we hadn't been there. But back then we also didn't go in thinking we just wanted to have fun; we wanted to win a series. This year we start just wanting to win one series.
feels win
Its a big win and it feels good, but we know we need to get better and we know it's going to get tougher.
against break contribute hopefully player sports success wants winners-and-winning winning
It is frustrating because every player wants to contribute to their team's success and be a part of winning ... Hopefully I'll break out here against Edmonton.
found game good knew thankfully weird win
It was a different kind of game. Before we knew it we were up four, but it was a weird game ... they're a good team, they battled back and thankfully we found a way to win that one,
close enter game great hear learning side team winning
Learning to play in big games, Game 7 and Game 6, all of it is a whole different level. It's different hockey, it's great hockey. On the other side of it, we were that close (to winning the Cup), (so) we're hungry. To get that close and hear the other team celebrating, and know it could have been us, that does enter your mind.
top
He's right at the top of his class, there's no question. He's going to be a star.
gave
I think it's great. You can just see he's competing. I thought he gave us a boost. We scored pretty shortly after that.
confidence ended everybody fed few
He ended up with a few big points. He really got us going, got the confidence up and then everybody fed off it.
played
Kipper, he's played like that all year. He's been amazing.
buzz good guys hear missed nice ninth time touch year
This is my ninth year here and I think I missed one of these tournaments for the World Cup. You come back and see the guys -- it's great. You keep in touch by e-mail but it's kind of a nice buzz to hear the anticipation. It's a good time of the year.
seen
He was great. He made some very big saves. I have seen him play before and he is a big player.
boost obviously top
He's a top D-man in the league. He obviously was a pretty big boost out there for them.
nice picked season start
It's a nice compliment. It's nice to have different expectations at the start of the season than being picked just out of the playoffs,
