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.
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.
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.

He's got good hands, he finds the spots to get open. Anytime you've got that and you're willing to work hard like he is, you're going to make things happen.
knew questions
I knew questions were going to be asked.
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.
dull good half period pick puck scoring second speed third throughout
We really got going in the second half of the second period and in the third period, ... We got good scoring chances, we got the puck to the net, we got our speed going. I think more and more throughout the preseason you're going to see the new NHL, where they will pick up speed and not have those dull moments.
controlled fresh guys players running three time zone
We rotate a lot of players in those positions. The guys go out there 20, 25 seconds. The first time it's out of the zone we get a change, get some fresh legs. That allows us to get a lot of pressure, and it's a controlled pressure. When one guys goes, the other three know how to respond. It's not a free-for-all, running around.
