I told him how I felt and that I hope he gets better.

anyone attitude chasing division finish momentum overall playoff striving underrated win
Momentum going into the playoff is very underrated and that's what we're striving for. It's kind of a curse, but we don't really have anyone chasing us now in our division and we've got to go out with the attitude that we want to finish first overall and win the President's Trophy.
flip hockey playoff switch
You don't want to go in cold. You don't want to go in and think you can just flip the switch and think playoff hockey is in your blood. You need to go in hot, you need to go in with an edge.

Coach told us they were probably going to come out a little tentative and then get up in us, so we had to get after them right away.

Coming out of the timeout coach told Brandon to look for me so I knew I was getting the ball anyway. When the ball was free I just made it my mission to get the ball up to the rim.

I didn't expect it to be the game-winner, but I guess we needed it. It's two points and we'll get the heck out of here.

We don't pride ourselves on trying to score with a man short, but if we have odd-man rushes, like we did tonight, we're all for it. Tonight was just a situation where opportunity knocks.
change reason successful
We've been very successful at home, and there's no reason for it to change now.
