You never expect a situation like that so when it comes, you just have to have confidence in each other, and I think that's what was going through our minds. I think we were confident, and we knew we did a good job the last couple games. It was just a matter of doing it for a little bit longer.
Someone saw my name on that (claim tag). They took a look inside and hit the jackpot.
Once we get rolling, we're going to be great, but it's a steep mountain to climb when you go through this, ... But it's better we get it out of the way now. If we keep working and start getting some bounces, we're going to be fine. If you work hard and keep creating, things usually go your way.
As of right now, go back to junior, the WHA or Europe. I guess those are the three main options, and who knows if other leagues are going to form, or what's going to happen if there is no season again... I haven't really given it a whole lot of thought. That's something that I'm going to decide after the season is over - what's best for me.
That's just the nature of the game. There was a lot made out of this game and I think things just escalated a little bit.
Anytime he's got a chance to make a play, he makes it. He finds the guy's stick, or he puts it in the net. Just to watch him tonight was really fun.
The way we played the other night, then to come here and play like that, it's pretty obvious we weren't playing the same way.
We're happy to get another one. We worked hard and we deserved it. Sure, we got a bounce. But other teams have gotten bounces against us, too. But we earned it.
We haven't gotten results, but the effort and the want are there. With that, you're going to get results. It's a matter of time.
I was pretty shocked. It was tough. I was surprised and wanted to find out what was going on, so I went to the hospital to see him ? I had no idea. He didn't say anything about it and I didn't really notice a lot.
I was better at both ends, defensively and offensively, ... It was more of a well-rounded game. I want to add to that.
I wasn't going to pass up a shot that late in a game. I wanted to make sure I gave it my best shot. It was nice to win it.
We're all playing within our role and not worrying about results. When we do that everything seems to click, and that's been a big factor in us winning games.
We played a strong game. We're all competing and battling for each other. We're just not getting too many breaks, but for us, we just have to continue to do this. We have to stay with it. Every guy is battling in here and that's huge. Everyone is going the same way and eventually it's going to turn around.
