Qualifying for the playoffs is a special feeling, and it will be special when we clinch the division. [Tonight's] game is important because of the way we played against them last time. We want to get the bad taste out of our mouths. |
That's a tough call. I didn't feel much coming around the corner but that's the call he made. |
The guys were looking for me because I already had two goals so I was trying to get open. |
The power-play goal was a big lift, ... It got us on the right track. And Hedi scored a big one after that at 18:36 of the second. |
The puck's kind of finding me right now. Hopefully I can keep it going and help our team put points on the board. |
The way I'm playing right now, I'm coming with a lot of speed, the puck's flying for me and I'm going to keep it going as long as I can. |
The way our team's playing right now, you can't really count us out. I think the league's taking notice of that. |
There were a lot of power plays tonight and we were finally able to get it done ? we'll take it. |
They play us tough every time. They're always working hard and finishing their checks. They were able to stay around. It was just nice to get the win. |
They've played two good games against us, and we wanted to come in here and prove to ourselves that we can beat that team, ... We know we've got a lot more games against them, so we have to keep getting better. |
Washington has some good young players and some skill, particularly with Ovechkin. We played Pittsburgh [in Friday's home opener], and there was a lot of talk about Sidney Crosby [this season's No. 1 pick]. In a situation like that, I want to prove myself. |
We expect he'll come back for us. He's been there for us all year. |
We hear that, but it's a little soon because we haven't all played in the NHL. |
We needed the win. I didn't get as much wood on it as I would have liked, but I found the back of the net with a good screen in front. |
We're happy with the way we're playing right now, but any time you can get a little bit of a break and get some rest to some guys and kind of lick your wounds, it's a good thing. |
