frustrated great line lines pick three
The great thing about our team, and has been all year, is that when one line is getting frustrated there's two or three other lines there to pick us up.
fans great sign star team wave
I thought it was great idea, just to give the fans a wave and just a sign that it's been the team all year, and it really was the team as the first star tonight.
acted advantage early great took
The more they acted like idiots, the more we wanted to play. But we took advantage of some early plays, and they were great plays, but nothing to go down that road.
dominated great marty played second shut totally
The way we played in the second was the way they played in the third. They totally dominated and got us on our heels. It was great to see Marty shut the door.
five game goal greatly guys night skate stand
Every night it's highlight-reel goal after highlight-reel goal. You'll get to see probably five a night in our league. And the guys that can skate are the guys who stand out. I think the game has greatly improved.

It was awesome. He talked about how he loves sports and going to hockey games. He thinks it's a great game in person.
bad game great lose win
It's a great way to win a game and a real bad way to lose one.
great players puts rapport silence target whatever
It puts a target on you, but I think I have a great rapport with the players we have here now, ... We as a staff, myself included, we have to silence the critics. That's the way I look at it. If we don't, whatever happens, happens. We have something to prove. If we don't, we should take the blame.
game good great marty needed played saves support team year
It was a great team effort. Marty made the big saves when we needed them, and I thought we had some great support around him. Overall, that was as good a game as we've played all year long.
great point pride says season
That's a great goal. If you want to point at any short-term goal, that's what we want to get to. A 100-point season says a lot. It's something we're going to take a lot of pride in.
goal great key time
He scored a great goal at a key time for us.
against bounce dismal ethic good great minutes played standpoint work
From a work ethic standpoint and skating, we did a lot of great things in the game. To bounce back after the dismal 30 minutes we played against Montreal, we did a lot of good things.
four great last minutes played rookie third trying
I was trying to get him the last one, and why not? He's a rookie who's played very well for us. He'd only played about four minutes going into the third period, so it was great to see him get it.
lifts psyche
I think it would've been a very big disappointment if we didn't win. You don't know what (a loss) would've done to the psyche of a young team. But to win, that lifts everybody.
