Playing the spoiler for other teams is not fun because you'd rather be playing to get yourself into the playoffs. But I guess it's making the best of a bad situation.
We played the whole game in our zone and we can't afford to do that. This is a challenge to each one of us in this room to be better.
That was huge. Johnny's one of those guys that you really cheer for because he does so much for us every night.
When you get a chance to play with him you know it's going to be creative, it's going to be fun. Nothing is better than that when you play hockey.
When we play as a team with five men, we're solid. It's when we get trying to do individual stuff that we really struggle.
We can't stress enough the specialty teams and how important they are. If you want to win in the league now you have to have a good power play and then that's going to make it a lot easier.
We don't have any room to lose. Every loss for us is huge.
Those are huge moments that I'll always remember. And I'll never forget the last game we played there before moving to Phoenix. It was the loudest building I've ever been in for a sporting event ever. I couldn't hear what my teammates were saying.
He has so much on his plate, we don't worry about his schedule.
We just haven't played with enough urgency when we've played them.
He's a big man. You never want to be caught in his tracks.
He's a fiery guy. The way he played is the way he coached, and you love that as a player to know that your coach is on your side and is into the game as much as you are.
He's 19 points ahead of the next closest guy on our team. He's able to create things from nothing on offense.
To get momentum like that is huge. We've got to find a way to keep it going. We've let it slip away too many times.
