advantage break chances game gave good situations sure taken took
We took advantage of every break we got. We took advantage of our odd-numbered situations that we haven't previously taken advantage of in Game 3 and Game 4. The good chances they gave us, we made sure we finished. We made sure that we got them down when we had the opportunity.
advantage break took
We took advantage of every break we got.
business job knowing
But it's knowing that we have a job to do every day and this business is all about winning.
game maybe playoff smart three
If this was a playoff game he would probably play. But with the three days, maybe the smart thing to do would be patient.
goes guy ready respect wants
I didn't like it. I have no respect for a guy when he goes after a knee. If he wants to play like that, he'd better be ready to respond.
believe definitely
I don't believe it was inadvertent. But he definitely got him with his stick.
allow bomb bombing fantastic four
He's a fantastic player. You allow him to bomb us from where he was bombing them, he should have had four or five.
caught reduced size took
He said it actually caught him where they reduced the size of the blocker, where they took some of the padding away. It's just unfortunate.
good size
He's got good size and good speed, but he's got to do something with it,
contact mean program resume severe time week
He's been put on the concussion program again, but the first one was so severe I think the program may go longer. There's no set time on when he can be back or when he can even resume practice. Symptom-free for a week doesn't necessarily mean he can have contact again. That could take weeks.
change contact doctors feels last wants week
He's doing better. He's on his way back to Buffalo, and he feels better. We had contact with him yesterday, and he wants to see our doctors to see when he can get back skating. That's a big change from last week where he wasn't doing so well.
best ice player quality time
He didn't get the quality ice time of some of our players, but he made the best of the ice time he did get. I thought he was our best player on the ice in the first period.
couple game lucky win
He can win a game by himself. They got a couple of lucky bounces, but he made the difference.
explain free ride
He just got a free ride on the whole play. I can't explain it and nobody's going to be able to explain it to me.
