Winning at home and scoring, it always feels good,
literally second shot stanley winning
We were literally one shot away, one second away from winning the Stanley Cup.
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.
bit couple defensive everybody game given knows last losing order room start winning
In our last couple of games, we've just been a bit sloppier than what our game is and we've given up way too many goals. We've got to get back to doing what we do and that's winning the defensive battles. In the last couple of games, we've been losing those and everybody in our room knows it. That's where well have to start in order to get better.
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.

I think we're going to get hot as a team, and personally, I think I'm going to get hot too.

It has a lot of implications in the division. We can be five up on Colorado with three games in hand or we can be three down, so it could be a big difference.
aspects needs
It isn't one thing. Look at all aspects of our game. It all needs to improve.
confidence creating feeling games good last scoring six
I think confidence it a big part of everybody's game. I think the last six games or so, I've just been feeling better and as a group, we've been creating more scoring chances, and it's good for everybody's confidence.
festive party people
People are more in a party mode, festive mode.
ahead club top
We do think we're going to be a really competitive club and we want to be one of the top clubs, but we know it's not going to be easy, ... We're not going to get ahead of ourselves.
excuses game gone hopefully mindset
We'll try to have the same mindset for Game 2 as we did Game 1. Now hopefully all the excuses are gone and we can keep going.
ducks fun
We had a little more jump, a little more desperation. I think we had more fun tonight, too. The Ducks were doing it, too, for two periods. It was back and forth.
