exposed good moved puck
They moved the puck pretty well and exposed us a bit, ... (Crosby's) a good player, but that's a good line.
couple good
He had a couple of good looks. Fortunately one went wide, which was big for us.
good played
I think we played good enough to win.
good olympic since team
I think we've been pretty good defensively since the Olympic break. It's been good team defense.
good lose shots
A win's a win. To see 60 shots and lose wouldn't be a good feeling. I'll take this any day.
good recipe
If we could use that same recipe for other games, we'd be in good shape.
excuse fans good hard hockey owe played playing trying win wish
No, there's no excuses. I don't think we played as well as we did in Montreal. I don't have any answers, I wish I did. It's not a good game. We have to keep playing hard. We owe it to our fans and to each other to play hard and keep trying to win hockey games.
words
It's frustrating as a goalie. I can't even put it to words right now.
talk talking trash
If you want to talk about trash talking, you're talking Snowy. He's one of the best.
fans games goals guys ourselves owe personal
I mean, guys have personal goals now and things they want to do. We have to keep winning. There are still 10 games left. We owe it not only to ourselves but the fans to come out and play hard.
time
Obviously, you're going to have jitters the first time you play in this event, but at the end of the day, it's still the same game.
point system trust trying
I think we're just trying to keep it simple. At this point of the season, we have to just trust our system and go out and play.
stopped
They're a little bright. But they stopped the puck.
doctor
I don't know. I'm going to go see a doctor (Sunday).
