A goal like that can really hurt a team. That makes it tough for them to think they have a chance to come back. We just played such a good team game. That's what we need. |
He's a leader for us. We have a lot of confidence in him, and he makes sure we play well in front of him. He's a smart player. He's been around a lot. He knows how the guys should play in front of the net. |
I wasn't surprised. He's well known for doing that sort of thing. He gave me a questionable check and I was not happy and I let him know it. I gave him a glove in the face...we won, so I'll take it. |
I'm sure (the coaching staff) has reasons. They know hockey. I just want to be on a winning team. As a third- or fourth-liner, and as a penalty killer, it's hard to get points out there. I'm just happy to contribute to our success. |
It was deception. We showed character coming back and killing the penalties in overtime. It seemed we had momentum ... we wanted to get that extra point. |
They were trying to prove something, and tonight we didn't show up. |
We feel good about our personnel here and a lot of guys can do different things. That definitely spreads the work load a bit and that will be good down the road. |
We have four lines with at least a 20-goal scorer on it. We certainly think that every line can score. Every time any line is out there, something can happen that's good. You want to see that as a team. |
We scored on that power play near the end after they had a lot of chances. That's tough going in the (dressing) room after that number of power plays and realize you are trailing by one. |
