guys problems three time
We have no problems with those three guys being in the lineup this time of year.
hope plays
And I hope he plays well. If (Burke) plays well, he's going to go again. This is what we have.
ugly win
It's an ugly two points, but you have to win them.
craziest found games goals involved seen
It's one of the craziest games I've ever been involved in. I've never seen so many freakish-looking goals in my life. But we found a way.
plays tonight won
They made the big plays tonight and they won the game. We have to play better.
intimidate philly
Philly is not going to intimidate us. No chance.
chipping everybody last playing point team time win
Everybody is chipping in and we're playing very well at this point in time as a team. That's the most important thing. To win consistently in this league, you need to play as a team and that's the way we've been doing it the last little bit.
moved power
Our power play (stinks). We moved the puck, but we didn't produce.
bumps expect guy iron respect
He didn't just tippy-toe in here and that's one of the things I respect about Range. We know there will be some bumps in the road. For a young guy you need to expect that. We're just going to try to iron them out as much as possible.
positive spot third weak
I think that's their weak spot - the third period. That's the positive we take out of that.
appetite attack bit certainly challenge finally fun game guys playoffs taste three time understanding
I think some of our young guys who have been here for two or three years finally got a taste of the playoffs and a little bit of an understanding of where the fun in the game is. That's the time of year. It certainly whets your appetite and we have a new challenge this year, so we are going to attack it.
playing starts
It all starts with our desperation level. We're playing with desperation.
amongst boiling gets ourselves points stay team time together tonight tough within
I think there were things within our team tonight amongst ourselves where it was boiling points and frustration with one another. I think it's very important right now, when it gets to that level, that we've just got to stay together. There are some tough times in a long season. This is the time we need to stay together and just get through it.
looked ready surprised team
I thought we were ready to play. But we looked surprised that there was another team on ice.
