florida good home people seen since south
It's good to go home and play, ... because it's been a while since people in South Florida have seen hockey.
call club good hard nights record single
It was a wake-up call for us tonight, definitely. We can't take nights off. We have to play hard every single night. And we didn't do it. We have a good record at home. But we have to be a lot better. I have to give them credit. They're a lot better club than their record.
good
If it was my call, there wouldn't be shootouts. It has more to do with pee-wee hockey; it's good for kids.
games good win worry
It's good to get the two points. We can't worry about other teams. There's 14 games left, and if we win all 14, who knows? Is it going to be enough? It's not up to us.
believes everybody feeling gone good guys season team
It's just so much a different feeling this year. We've become a good team as the season has gone along, and everybody believes we can still get to the playoffs. The guys really believe in each other.

Our lineup looked pretty good early in the year, but obviously we haven't played at the level we're capable of doing. The past few weeks we've been the team we should have been every single night.

And there were a couple of guys that were smiling over there a little bit. But we're this far and we're enjoying our time right now. It's an unbelievable feeling being in the gold-medal game. I don't think there's been a single person outside our locker room who believed we could go this far.
dream final five million watch
It is a dream final for us. There are five million at home, and everyone will watch this game.
mentally playoffs summer tough
It's really tough mentally being out of the playoffs again. It's going to be a long summer again.
fourth meeting next seventh sick time tired year
I'll tell you what -- this is my fourth year here and seventh year in the league, and I'm sick and tired of losing. Next time we have a meeting like that, we're going to be out of the playoffs.
fun hunt playoff points time year
It's a lot more fun to be in the playoff hunt than out of it. This time of year we've usually been 10-12 points out.
happened nice puck robbed toward winning
It happened so quickly. I was able to get the puck toward the backdoor. But he robbed me and made a nice save. That's what winning goalies are able to do.
