chance exactly hands looking ourselves series win
If we're going to win this series anyway, with or without Jagr, we have to have all hands on deck. If we give ourselves a chance 5-on-5, we'll get exactly what we're looking for. If we don't, it's short.
advantage anybody describe fine others seem soon
I'd just as soon describe it the way it is but I think, at the same time, I don't want to give anybody any kind of advantage with others that others don't seem to share. If those are the rules, that's fine with me.

I'd like to watch this over again to see if what I saw was real.

We've earned the privilege of feeling good about what we've done. But we have won nothing. We know we need our A-plus game in the playoffs, and now is the time that you make sure you're there when the time comes.

We sure hope that we've identified with one thing and that is stability, and the level of, I guess, confidence that goes along with that so you can even push the envelope further and squeeze the cloth a little bit more to bring even more out of people.

He wants badly to win. He wants everyone to enjoy something very special with his help. Not thanks to him, but certainly with his help. I think that really motivates him. He takes this very seriously.

He was certainly on a mission. He wanted this one badly, obviously, and he did the things that a leader has to do.

He's clearly decided he's got to do what he's got to do in order for this team to get its playoff spot and that's foremost in his mind. We're all the beneficiary of that attitude.

Get your nose dirtier. There is a price to be paid for hanging in there and getting opportunities.
bit certainly continue delivered develop good gotten happen hockey minutes needed point watching work
Certainly he delivered what he needed to do for us from that point of view. I'd like to have gotten him a little bit more minutes and that'll happen in the future. Just watching his game, he's got good hockey sense. We'll continue to work with him . . . and develop him even further.
anyone complete itself lock regular season team
This team has got itself on the brink. We've got to lock in or we're out of here. We don't want anyone to look at our regular season as a complete illusion.
