amazing basically confident last nice overtime played playing saves score turned worried
It was just amazing how we played that last period. We turned it around. I was very confident in overtime because we were playing so well. When we didn't score in overtime, I was a little worried because basically I didn't do anything for the last 25 minutes. It's just nice to make some saves and get the two points.
bother earlier easier games hoping left playing seem situation
I was hoping to play a little more earlier in the season. It's a different situation now. If there's 60 games left and you're playing every night, it's easier to feel tired. There's only (12 games) to go. It doesn't seem like that many. Mentally, that's the big thing, that's why it doesn't bother me.
amazing crazy few past points
It's been crazy for the past few games. All of our fans, they've been in the games, so it's just an amazing feeling. And we got two points - that's the most important thing.
