guys problems three time
We have no problems with those three guys being in the lineup this time of year.
business care home job question successful
There is no question we have to do a better job at home. To be successful in this league, you have to take care of business at home and we haven't always done that.
amnesia game good learn left ready short time
We have a short time left in our season. At times you have to have amnesia and for a good part of this game we will, but there are some things to learn from it and now we'll just get ready for Montreal.
good staying
We have a pretty good idea of who is going to be staying with us.
dwelling eat far good ottawa turned
We're good as far as our mindset, but Ottawa turned it up a notch. So we have to eat it and try to get better. There's no sense of dwelling over it.
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.
ugly win
It's an ugly two points, but you have to win them.
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.
