We were probably a little nervous. |
We´re just kind of easing into things and getting a feel for the new rules, which I think is going to make a big impact on the game, ... It´s going to really change it around, probably give guys time and space to make plays. You´re probably going to see a lot more goals. |
We'll probably be rooting each other on. |
We're always underdogs in one of these tournaments. The brains that figure out where we fit in, that's their job. We've always flown under the radar. Hopefully we're able to surprise some people and change some opinions. |
We're basically on our own for flights, hotels, tickets. That should be taken care of so we don't have to focus on it. |

We're still having squeaky-type games but we've pulled them out in the end. It's been tough to score goals, especially when you're playing on the road but we were pretty opportunistic tonight. |
We've had success. Once fans get a taste of that, you want it every year. If it doesn't happen, they want to know why. It would be tough if things went the other way. |
When we have good puck possession, we're close to one another and it's all short passes and puck support, and you work your way up the ice. |
When you go, you go hard, but you have to pace yourselves, too. |
When you're expected to win, you expect to beat them, which is the kiss of death. |
Whether its three, four or five seasons that I have left to play, I'm committed to making them great ones. |
You always want to get off to a great start and kind of settle into the season and kind of take a deep breath and relax. It's a plus to get those numbers early. |
You can't complain about it for us. I didn't think we'd be in that many shootouts. It's been really exciting for the players and the fans. I don't think anybody really knew how good it would be. |
