hard kinda seeing seriously
After seeing him play, it's kinda hard to take him seriously anymore.
beforehand broke corners creating few fire goal hold knew rather work
It was important to get the right feeling. There was not much work to do, but a few times they broke in to the goal from the corners creating danger. I knew beforehand how the Czechs play, they don't fire that fast, rather they want to hold on to the puck.
dominating easy follow lately leader playing
Lately he has been dominating games. It's easy to follow when our leader is playing great.
kindness lost net puck somebody
I kind of lost the puck and there was somebody in net to put it in.
nice speed
I didn't have any speed to go backwards. He made a nice move, five-hole.
loose
I should really keep those loose pucks into myself. We didn't give them too much.
couple decent fun remember sold surprise wrong
Pretty much sold out and a pretty decent game. Nothing wrong with that. It's fun to be back here and play. They didn't surprise me, I remember a couple of years ago.
video
I don't know what happened. I'll look at the video and then I'll know better.
controlled lots wide
It was a pretty controlled game. There were not a lot of 2-on-1s. There were lots of shots, but I don't think it was wide open.
far forward game time
It's been the same way all season. You just have to take one game at a time and can't look too far forward because every game is huge.
felt fun games good lots period shooting shots today
They were shooting lots but I felt pretty good right from the start. There's been games when I had only one or two shots in a period but today was more and it's fun to have these kind of games once in a while.
against both colorado feels fun game huge mean rest win won
This was a huge game for both teams, you could feel it in the building, and that made it a fun game to play. The win against Colorado wouldn't mean anything if we hadn't won tonight. It feels good, and we know every game is going to be like this one for the rest of the season.
building
We have been building on all the wins.
learn next ready
You have to learn from that and be ready for the next shootout that comes for us.
