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.
He just needed a chance. He used to get pretty frustrated in San Jose. He's the kind of guy who needs to play a lot.
Guys have accepted the roles given to them and they do not complain. They are not playing as much as they would in the NHL, but they are not complaining.
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.

This schedule is unbelievable. I don't know what kind of Superman you have to be to stay healthy.
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.
