games guys pulling results speaks team winning
What they've done speaks for itself. They're a team with 18 guys pulling the same way. The results are pretty evident; they're winning a lot more games than they're losing.
guys learning lesson stick win
Tonight, I think that was as important a learning lesson as well as a win to show the guys here that if they stick with it, what they can accomplish.
bigger games guys played sharp specialty teams won
These two games were probably a lot bigger than even the guys realize. These were pretty big games. I don't think we played as well as we can play, but we did what we had to do to win. I thought our goaltending was very sharp when it had to be, and our specialty teams won (Saturday's) game for us.
almost biggest carry focus guys home ice leave leaving next playing seven shift three traveling
Not playing at home for almost a month, this is something we can carry into the next seven games. Our biggest focus here the next little while is to leave everything on the ice because we don't have any three (games) in three (nights). We are traveling and out of town, but at the same time, we are traveling. Guys should be leaving everything every shift on the ice.
days emotional game guys hard home needed realize settle shift takes
It was a pretty emotional two days around here. It was the first (playoff) game at home here for some of the guys. We needed a game like that that was hard fought. Now guys can settle in here and see what it takes to win, and realize you have to go here. Every shift of every game is huge.
hockey lines simple three wheel
We're not reinventing the wheel of hockey here. It's just simple things, and we did that here tonight. We do that, we can come at you with three lines and keep going and going.
head playoff ready time
We're in a playoff race. There's no time to put your head down and pout. We've got to get ready to get back at it (today).
battle behind good lie small step toward
We're still behind the 8-ball. This is a small step toward where we want to go. It was good to see that it's going to be a long series. We're going to battle and we're not going to lie down.
bed best excited great ready rink
We've got to go to bed ready to get up and play. When we get to the rink, it's the same thing. Get there, get ready to go out and have fun. It's a great place to go play. It's the best rink in the league. We should be excited to get out there and play.
basically building game home
You basically look at we have a Game 7 in our home building (tonight).
bother good held power
We've held them on their power play, too. We've got good chances. I can't say that our power play didn't get good chances. It did. The power play doesn't really bother me.
bench looked net
On the bench it looked like the net moved. But you can't really see from the bench.
next nine
These next nine or 10 days, we're going to find out what we're made of.
created dug eight minutes nine period played stand time
Say what you want about (goals) three, four, five, six, seven, eight and nine, but the first two killed us. Once again, you look up and it's 14 minutes to go in the first period and we've dug a hole. Nothing went right for us and everything went right for them, but at the same time they created nine goals. They played hard. We have to stand up to that better.
