crazy real home
You don't realize the atmosphere in the arena until you're down on the ice for real, especially during the playoffs. You come out of the gate, you hear the fans going crazy, you know you're at home and in for a good time. It's something special, that's for sure.
hockey practice games
It's a good start. Seems like all the lines have chemistry right now. It's tough to tell after one game, but with only one practice all the guys looked like the flowed pretty good out there after the first period.
tough buddy injured
Being injured sucks. When you see all your buddies out there playing it's tough.

I'm just an average Canadian kid playing hockey.
blame excuse hard knew sit work
It could have been an excuse for us to sit back, blame it on the travel. But we have (today) off and we knew that, so we wanted to work hard and get the two points.

It is going to be nice, but we see them a lot this year. We see them eight times and in the playoffs so we could play them 15 times.

We play these guys pretty good. We all know we've got to win a bunch of games to get into the playoffs.

It's nice to see some funny goals. That's what happens when you shoot the puck.

It's something that reflects pride in their profession,
against boston chemistry dangerous expect few finding game glenn good holes knew looks maybe playing quick realize san seeing sure trying tv
I wasn't sure what to expect when I got traded. Not playing against San Jose much and only seeing him on TV a few times, I didn't realize how good and quick and dangerous he is at finding those holes a passer always looks for when he's trying to find a goal-scorer. After the first game or two, I knew we had that kind of chemistry I had with Glenn Murray for so many years in Boston . Maybe better.
love quicker style
It's much quicker out here than in the East. I love the style of play out here.
