adversity dressing dry faced few group knew leadership main major maturity objective people putting respond room seasons spell surprised three weeks
Our main objective as a group was to respond to any adversity that we faced all year. That's where I think our major accomplishment was, we battled injuries, we battled people putting us down, we battled a dry spell a few weeks ago. So it may have surprised other people but we knew in our dressing room that we had character, leadership - a lot more maturity than we had two, three seasons ago.
ready saves three tough
I was ready to go. It's not easy. Shootouts are never easy. It's three saves for a win. You just have to tough it out.
dig expect hole ready
I was ready to go, but it was just one of those nights. You can't dig yourself a hole like that and expect to come out.
crashing game good kept marty played road saves
We played a very good road game for two periods. We were all over them. Marty made some big saves that kept them in the game. If we play like that on the road, defensively and crashing the net, we'll be OK.
knew questions
I knew questions were going to be asked.
good inside knew played stress
I hadn't played in a while, and getting down, 2-0, is not a very good way to start, but I didn't stress too much about it. I knew we had something inside of us.

He sees some things that really help me.
blame chances created goal mistake puck second
I made a mistake on their second goal to give the puck up on the wall. I'll take the blame for that. They created the chances and created more opportunities and they got the goals.
blink left looked minutes saw second shots side sure whenever
I can play whenever they want me to play. I told them that. I'm well rested. I looked up with about 5 minutes left and saw 38, 39 shots and had to blink for a second to make sure which side it was.
cheated create exciting felt front good guys hard harder invested money office paid people situation spent team wants
It was hard for a while because a lot of people spent money, invested money and felt like they got cheated a bit. Now they felt like they should give those guys (in ownership) a chance, and it has paid off. The more people that are there, the more exciting it is, the harder the team wants to work, the more the front office wants to create a good situation for the city, for the fans. So it's like a big wheel, and it makes a big difference.
chances created goals
They created the chances and created more opportunities and they got the goals.
anybody camp head kick stand
This is my job, and I'm going to camp to kick some butt, to stand on my head so that there's no confusion, ... I don't want anybody to look at this and wonder.
ahead minutes thinking time year
I think that's the first time this year that for 60 minutes I was always thinking ahead a step.
rock worse
It was rock bottom. It couldn't get any worse than that.
