buffalo dominated game start team type
We dominated the game in Buffalo because of the start. The start of the game is very important for us, especially with the type of team we have.
brings confidence games help hopefully rest start success win year
When you have everybody, it brings some confidence for the other lines. We had success with that (line) at the start of the year and hopefully it can help us win games the rest of the way.
games gets goal mind scoring
We wanted to get back on track. You go two games without scoring a goal and it gets in your mind a bit.
closer couple games lost recently stay won
We're still in first. We lost a couple games recently and they won their games so they got closer to us. It's going to be a big game. We want to stay at the top.
chance game great helped points season
This was the kind of game that you look back at the end of the season and the two points would have really helped in the standings. We had a great chance to get into first place. This is not acceptable.
battle drops energy fight games period short teams tired
Sometimes the energy drops after that. A lot of teams are tired now, a lot of games in a short period of time, and we just need to battle and fight through it.
game played special surprised
They surprised us. It was a special game for them, and they played that way.
easier focus games good great last tonight turn
You don?t want to think about it, but it?s in the back of your mind. In the last two games I had some great chances. It was good to get this one tonight and now I can turn the page. It will be a lot easier to focus now.
backs character game stop wall
This is a sport we love. We play this game for a reason: it's fun. We have our backs to the wall right now, but we don't want to stop here. We want to keep going. It's pressure, yes, but I like it. We'll see what kind of character we have.
against character found games overtime playing road shows team win
I like the way the team's playing right now. It's tough, you go on the road and the games are tight, especially against New York, and we found a way to win a game on the road in overtime again. It shows the character the team has.
certainly chances enjoying fun game next night player playing
I'm enjoying playing the game again. I'm having fun, getting chances every night and it's certainly fun playing next to a player like Peter.
chances couple game great played second took
He played very well. He made some big saves, especially in the second period. I don't want to say we took the game over, but we played better in the second. We had a couple of great chances and he made big saves.
bit easier everybody game knows looking maybe respect supposed team toughest york
It's not supposed to be like that. But I think everybody knows that this game was maybe looking a little bit easier than Ottawa, New York and New Jersey. This may have been our toughest game this week. That's not right when you come in like that. It doesn't give respect to the other team and maybe that's what we did (Tuesday).
chance effort few game games last played points season tonight work
It's the kind of game you look at at the end of the season and that may be two points we could have had in the standings. All the work we did the last few games was great, but to play the way we played tonight and not put the effort into at least getting the chance to get those two points is not the right way to do it.
