It's the perfect time to be hot. Everybody knows it's tough to face a hot team in the playoffs, and right now we're hot.
Oh, there'll be a lot of drunk people there.
Winning is always fun, but the car is more important.
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.
You keep shooting. You hope it goes in, and you smile.
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.
If they can play eight more years, then I can too. I'm in better shape than they are.
The first two periods I was feeling great. I had so much energy. I ran out of gas a little bit in the third, but the best thing is I didn't feel any pain ... It's a great feeling to be back.
The ice has never been good here. It is OK. Nothing special. Not like in Canada.
All the games he played in the regular season, he did his job well. We have lots of confidence in him, too, and that's a good sign.
We know we can do it. This team plays with a lot of confidence now. I really believe that's been the biggest thing.
It's awesome. The team is playing with so much confidence right now.
Everybody is working so hard and I've always said confidence is the key. I don't care who you are or what you do, you've got to have the confidence. This team is unbelievable right now. Every line is doing their job.
When the goalie is hot, he's hot. Pretty much nothing you can do about it. Hopefully he's going to cool down next time.
