I just tried to hit the net. I got it through the five hole.
The reason we have seen so many penalties in the playoffs is they (referees) started calling everything again. They were not calling everything in the last 10, 15, 20 (regular-season) games.
We played pretty disciplined, even though they tried to frustrate us. It was a pretty solid effort all the way around.
We have a chance to do something great in history for Finnish hockey and that's our goal.
This schedule is unbelievable. I don't know what kind of Superman you have to be to stay healthy.
We are just playing so well right now, and we have lots of confidence. This team is unbelievable right now. Every line is doing their job.
We both should have three or four goals already this series but don't and we have to find a way to do it. As a goal scorer, it's important to get chances and we've got those. We're working hard. We just need one good game where we both get some damage done and get that scoring touch. Even if it goes off your (butt).
I think we have played like a playoff team for some time. We can still do better. The key thing right now is to look forward, not behind you.
We know how much it takes, and nothing is going to come easy. We just have to find that effort and do better on special teams.
You keep shooting. You hope it goes in, and you smile.
Winning is always fun, but the car is more important.
If they can play eight more years, then I can too. I'm in better shape than they are.
When I was a kid, I remember playing hockey outside and whenever you did, you thought about playing for Finland vs. Sweden. Thats just the way it was.
We've played with a lot of confidence and that's been the key so far. Hopefully, we can take more confidence into the playoffs.
