It's down to the best two-out-of-three now. These guys are going to keep coming until the series is over. |
It's just nice to kind of stop the bleeding in that area and finally put a zero up there. They didn't get a lot of second and third chances. We had a chance to clear the puck out from in front of the net, and Jimmy made some nice saves. Hopefully, we can play a little better on the penalty kill, because specialty teams now are huge in the success of teams. |
It's kind of comical that they think something like that will really deter you from playing good that night. |
It's nice to be in familiar surroundings again. I'm looking forward to the first on-ice practice (Tuesday). It's good to be back. |
It's nice to be in familiar surroundings again. It's kind of a normal routine that we're used to. We're looking forward to the first on-ice, and seeing all the familiar faces and that. It's just good to be back again. |
Just play a good, smart road game, and we've been doing that this season. |
Maybe it's a blessing to come on the road. We've had a lot of success on the road this season. We seem to play a simpler game. |
Obviously, we're hoping they get something done and get him here in the next few days or however long it would take for him to fly over, |
Personally, I think they should have a better record than what they do, but obviously things just weren't going right and they're going to see if Sergei can be part of the puzzle to help them get going in the right direction. |
Playing with him at the worlds (world championships) in Austria (in 2005), guys were breaking their sticks trying to bring him down and he was still finding a way to score goals. The guy is a natural goal-scorer. |
That's a huge blow for them. I don't know much about this Mason guy, but obviously it's all on his shoulders now. It definitely hurts them, but until the playoffs start and you get those games going, we won't see how much. |
That's always been one of the big strengths of this team, the ability to roll four lines and have all four lines contribute. |
There are 10 or 11 teams that are playoff teams. Some very good teams aren't going to make it. |
There is no guarantee that Stevie is done this year. We just want to win the Stanley Cup. But if there is one thing that could motivate us more, it would be the opportunity to give Steve one more Cup before he goes out. |
They're all playing real well, which is a good sign for them heading into the playoffs. Whoever gets in will be dangerous. |
