ahead best great lucky players since watched
He's a great player. I've watched him since '94, I guess. He's always been one of the best players in the league, so I got lucky to get ahead of him.
few maybe ourselves penalties putting time took
We weren't very disciplined; (we) took a few penalties maybe we shouldn't (have). It was pretty one-sided, the (penalty) calling, but at the same time we were putting ourselves in that position.
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.
great puck
You have to get the puck to him, he's a great player.
finding
The puck's just been finding me in the right spots.
haul legs
We got our legs moving. Everyone started skating. You do that they've got to haul you down every once in a while.
body face few guys hopefully move send shots start staying top
We're going to try to send a few guys in there and try to get in his face so he has to move back in the net. He's challenging a lot of shots right now, staying up in the top of the crease. You get a body in there to try to move him back ... and hopefully things will start to go in.
effort forth
We need to get back on track. We really didn't put forth the effort tonight. It was unfortunate, but it happens.
agent fans hockey school start sure
I've been working with my agent to try to get something set up. One of the things I think I'm going to start doing is a hockey school for sure because they are big hockey fans up there.
guys nice reached
It was a nice feeling. Not a lot of guys have reached it so it's pretty special.
basically hockey since team uncles watched
They actually had a (men's) team that was basically made up of my uncles and my dad. I just watched them since I was a little kid. They are all hockey fanatics.
joe known opportunity score
I've always known I could score goals. But when Joe (Thornton) came, I got the opportunity to play with him.
front mom time tv
They used to put me in front of the TV when I was just a little kid, and that's the only time I would be quiet, my mom said.
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.
