When the team plays well, good things happen for the individuals as well. I got some good breaks tonight and was able to put them away. |
When you see it leading off CNN or Fox Sports, you know it's a big story. |
When you're hot, you want to keep playing. You don't want to have the kind of break in the schedule that we just had. |
Yeah, it's been fun, |
You always learn from winning. Winning creates good habits. At the same time, it's a total different game over here than it is in the NHL. And it's going to be an adjustment going back to the NHL again. |
You could tell how tired they were. They couldn't get anything going. We knew as long as we kept the puck ahead of us and didn't take any penalties then they would have a tough time scoring. |
You know the league has to be careful with what's happened recently (in New Orleans) and they're going to make the right call because they don't want to put anybody in danger. This is not something you can worry about because you can't do anything about it. As players, we would rather play. |
You've got to be ready to play any team in this league, and we wanted to be ready tonight and I think we were in the first period. I think that's the biggest thing for us. If we go out there and give it a great effort, we're a tough team to beat. We've got a great chance of winning every game now, and that should be our mind-set. |
