draws fighting front garbage great ice job pick sees soft spot
He draws a lot of double-teams, and he sees the ice so well. Basically, all you have to do is find a soft spot in the ice. He does a great job fighting off guys, and I just pick up the garbage in front of the net.
amazed area factory junior kids playing
Kids in Moose Factory and kids around the whole area were amazed that I was playing at (the junior level).
cleveland good helped shows time tough
I think the time in Cleveland helped him. It's tough to play there. It's a good development league, but it shows you what you have to do to get here.
control couple everybody gets good pressure spend sustained time
The first couple of shifts we sustained pressure in their end, and had good control. When you spend that much time in their end, I think everybody gets a little more energized.
matter
It doesn't really matter how many, just as long as they go in and we win.
confidence confident joe shown
I think they've shown a lot of confidence in me and I'm confident in the team. It's pretty exciting. When they went out and got Joe Thornton, it showed they wanted to win.
guys helping nice reached teammates thank
It's a nice feeling, not a lot of guys have reached it so it's pretty special. I've just got to thank my teammates for helping out so much this year. It's because of them I've reached it.
chance defense face fastest similar stop
They play a similar style. For us, we've got to get up in their face and stop them before they can get going. We're still probably the fastest team. We need to get our defense up in the play to snuff out their forwards so they don't get a chance to get out on the breaks.
everybody foot guess hit knew looked
I knew it hit my foot and I looked down at my skate. Everybody started celebrating so I knew something happened. I guess you get one of those every once in a while.
close couple eventually figured might
It's exciting. I've been close a couple times before. I figured eventually it might come if I got the bounces.
calls ourselves position taking
We were undisciplined. The calls were pretty much one-sided, but we put ourselves in that position by taking those penalties.
contribute expected finding luckily net
To get that many goals, I never expected that. I just wanted to contribute to the team's success, and luckily I've just been finding the back of the net this year.
carrying feeding good hopefully playing playoffs roll
We got on a roll in December, and we've just been feeding on that and carrying over. We're going into the playoffs playing really good hockey, and hopefully we'll get to play Nashville.
limit match score stingy
We know how they play, they're very stingy defensively. We're just going to have to match that. We have to limit their chances, try not to give them any odd-man chances, and score when we get the opportunities.
