He has great hands. His speed opens up the ice for me and Petersen. |
I also did not put as much pressure on myself as I had before. I just tried to keep it simple. It definitely felt good. I had a big grin on my face when I skated to the bench, and so did the guys. |
I know a lot of people in Manitoba since I played there two years. It's going to be good. It's weird to say, but it will get me away from hockey too. I can rest, even if we're playing. |
I'll do whatever they tell me. I heard everyone is in a shootout, and I'm 0-for-2 in two nights so I have to practice my moves. |
It was a poor one, too. |
It's a great honor and means you are having a good season and doing something out there. It's also good exposure. |
Milwaukee is the team we would probably play in the playoffs, so we wanted to send a message that it will be a challenge to play against us. We came back to tie the game twice, which showed a lot of character for a young team. |
That was a nice garbage goal. I like that. I credit the referee for not blowing the whistle too early. He was in good position. |
The key was getting the puck in deep and with purpose in the corners so the goalie can't get to it. It was not because of a lack of effort (Friday) night. We tried to do too much. Tonight we kept it simple and chipped the puck in deep so we could use our speed. |
This kid has matured so much through the year. He wasn't always consistent and now he's probably the most consistent player on the team. |
We got the effort we wanted tonight. |
You are not really supposed to do that, but after a game like that you want to. |
