It's a huge win for us. It pulls us ahead of Los Angeles in our conference. It's great to head into the break winning five straight, but coming from behind in all of those games might be tempting fate a little bit. |
It's a tough adjustment when you have to wear one when normally you don't, especially when you have to throw it on right before the game. |
It's one of those things that with that comes excitement and that thrill that you're going to have that opportunity to hold the Cup at the end of the year, and your team is going to do everything possible to try to do that, but within the salary cap framework. I'm sure fans are going to be very, very excited as the seasons go on and the CBA starts to work. |
It's our game we have to worry about. It's always our game. |
It's tough chasing from behind when you're on the road. It's a matter of us bearing down and trying to play a more disciplined game. |
Marty made great stops to keep us in it. |
My understanding, they're going to be calling it the same way. I can't really give you an answer until we really get started to see what they're going to do. But what they say and what they do, we'll find out. |
The good thing about coming back and being in games right away is it kind of takes the focus off that. |
The last few games against them, we've played a lot better and have been able to match their intensity. It's up to us to answer the bell for 60 minutes. |
The most I ever played was 42 minutes in a three-period game. But I didn't get across the red line too much in that one. |
The so-called splinter faction in the union that is going a different direction has been drummed up by a lot of media members and people hoping a deal gets done. I can unequivocally say everyone is on board and understands the issues better. |
The socks were a little tight, too. My feet are still a little numb, they were so tight. |
There is no 70- or 80-million-dollar behemoth that is going to run the table. Every player's dream isn't to get the Cup final, it's to win. |
They have enough veteran guys over there who have won Cups. They understand what's at stake, what's going on. I don't foresee them looking past anybody. But anything that's thrown our way, we'll have at least seen it once or twice given all the ups and downs we've gone through through the course of this season. |
They pose a lot of problems but at the same time, we know how to play them. We need to get back to Canadian hockey and just chip pucks in, finish our checks, create our turnovers and get on the attack. |
