caught created danny heading nice onto pass stick
He created a turnover. I think they were just heading up ice, so we caught them going the right way. Danny made a real nice pass over the stick right onto mine. The goalie went for the poke-check. Fortunately, I had my head up.
hardest since skated
the hardest really I've skated since the first of the week.
finished finishing guarantee obvious
It's obvious that finishing first doesn't guarantee anything. I don't think where you finished in the standings is tremendously important in the playoffs.
deliver good guy hit ice open reputation
He's a good open ice hitter. Not the kind of guy who will deliver the big hit on the glass. He will get a reputation for that.

I don't know much about the techniques of fighting, but I know throwing a punch on skates is a lot different than throwing a punch from the ground.
exciting great highlights himself loss player
I think it'll be a big loss for the NHL. Such a great player and conducted himself professionally. An exciting player to watch. Just so many highlights of things he could do on the ice.

His work ethic is really a good example for the younger guys. Just the experience of being through three Olympic Games will really help settle things down.

We've always developed it with the close proximity and the Ohio-Michigan thing. There's a lot of enthusiasm at games, and that will just add to it, I'm sure.
