To get that many goals, I never expected that. I just wanted to contribute to the team's success, and luckily I've just been finding the back of the net this year. |
We got on a roll in December, and we've just been feeding on that and carrying over. We're going into the playoffs playing really good hockey, and hopefully we'll get to play Nashville. |
We got our legs moving. Everyone started skating. You do that they've got to haul you down every once in a while. |
We know how they play, they're very stingy defensively. We're just going to have to match that. We have to limit their chances, try not to give them any odd-man chances, and score when we get the opportunities. |
We matched them better physically and we matched their intensity through the whole game. Every win is big for us. We are trying to get back into the playoff race. |
We need to get back on track. We really didn't put forth the effort tonight. It was unfortunate, but it happens. |
We wanted to get the puck in deep because their defense is a little slower and smaller than they have been in the past. Everybody stuck to it and we got a good effort. |
We were undisciplined. The calls were pretty much one-sided, but we put ourselves in that position by taking those penalties. |
We weren't very disciplined; (we) took a few penalties maybe we shouldn't (have). It was pretty one-sided, the (penalty) calling, but at the same time we were putting ourselves in that position. |
We're going to try to send a few guys in there and try to get in his face so he has to move back in the net. He's challenging a lot of shots right now, staying up in the top of the crease. You get a body in there to try to move him back ... and hopefully things will start to go in. |
You have to get the puck to him, he's a great player. |
You never expect to have anything like this, but this is what I worked for. This is what I spent my summer training for. I wanted to be as good as I could. ... I always liked the way (Thornton) played, and I watched him play a lot growing up, when he was in juniors. He's a great passer, and I like to shoot. |
