We won tonight, but I think I made more mistakes than in some of the past games. I felt a bit better and felt more comfortable seeing game-type plays. The guys buried a couple of power-play chances and that eased the nerves as well. |
We're in a battle with Buffalo for the top spot in the division and with Carolina for top spot in the conference. It's an exciting time of the year. With those teams not slipping up very much, we can't afford to either. We've been playing really solid since the break. |
We've got them in a position where we know our best chance to put them away is at home. We played a strong game. We didn't have our best start, but we played solid -- especially in the third. |
We've put ourselves in a good spot, but it's not said and done. We've still got to finish it off. We realize at home is our best opportunity to do that. We've just got to re-focus for that game. |
With the new rules, it's cool, I get a chance to look up and see if a guy is available for a stretch pass, |
You get excited. You work for the bounces you get. |
You work for the bounces you get. Luck was on our side, definitely. |
You've got to give a lot of credit to those guys. They were still playing hard, doing the little things. It had to be tough on them. |
