I think we've played for a long time like a playoff team, but we can still do better. The key now is to look forward instead of looking back. I'd like to start looking ahead at Nashville than look behind at the teams that are chasing us.
I think it helps that we have played so long together. We have great chemistry. We have everything that a great team needs.
We played pretty disciplined, even though they tried to frustrate us. It was a pretty solid effort all the way around.
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.
It's tough. We were so close, and we played so good in the tournament.
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.
I think we all bounced back pretty well and played good enough to win the game.
We played the way we wanted. We were a little nervous for the first period. After that we had no problems. Everything was under control. That was a good sign.
I thought the first period was excellent and we were terrible in the second. In the third period, we found a way to get the job done and that was the difference. It was good enough to win the game. That's all that matters.
I was hoping that this was going to happen at home in front of our own fans. Of course the big thing was that we won.
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).
He has scored a lot of big goals. This guy has been an unbelievable part of our success.
