effort game
We didn't take the game for granted, but I don't think our effort was like it's been.
basically easy free joe knew knows obviously perfect puck screaming
I knew it was basically a free play for us. When Joe got that puck I was screaming at him pretty loud, and obviously Joe knows how to find guys. I was in the perfect place and did the easy part. Joe did all the work.
almost force guys matter plays quicker time toughest
It's just a matter of time, and you don't have as much time. It's the same thing we try to do to other teams, take away time and space. You can force guys to make plays quicker than they want to and for almost every player, that's the toughest thing to do.
advantage basically game hands huge knowing luckily overtime power
That's a huge advantage going into overtime knowing we're on the power play. Basically the game was in our hands at that point, and luckily we capitalized.
against boards came coming corner definitely eat elbow icing last left puck saw
I went to get the puck and they waved icing off at the last second. I saw him coming out of the corner of my eye. I was against the boards so I was going to eat the puck. He came in high. I don't know if he came in with an elbow but he definitely left his feet.
couple days extra few huge nice rest
It's nice to get a couple of days off to rest and recoup. Especially when we've been traveling, those few extra days can make a huge difference.
