He definitely has that intensity on the ice, a desire to win. When you see that it's contagious, everyone follows him. He's the leader. You learn something every day watching him on the ice. |
He's just so smart out there. When you're on the ice with him, he makes everything easy for you. He continues to amaze everybody on this team with the plays he makes. |
I just think we have to get the intensity up at the start of the game and get motivated. Treat these like playoff games, because that's what they are for us. |
I think I'm the most surprised out of anyone. |
I try not to think about it too much. Usually if you do the other things, the little things, the one-on-one battles, and focus on some of the other things, things take care of themselves. When you're on a streak, you try not to evaluate it too much. You just go play your game. |
I'd probably like to keep going (with games), but I'm going to use the break to my advantage. A few minor injuries will have the chance to heal up, it's a chance to get refreshed and rejuvenated and to do some off-ice conditioning. |
I've just been getting chances and the puck just seems to be finding the net. |
It's always good to get the lead early. We've struggled a bit with that this year. Tonight I thought we played well once we got the lead and we shut them down. |
It's disappointing. I know we came back to tie it when we were down by a goal and go into overtime, but right now that's not good enough. The way this conference is going, it's probably going to be a point difference for that last playoff spot. |
It's disappointing. I know we came back to tie it, but right now that's not good enough. We had the 4-on-3 (power play) in overtime and had some chances. It's a bit of a letdown. |
It's disappointing. I know we came back to tie it, but right now that's not good enough. We'll take the point, but it seems we have come out flat in the last three games after the break and that is hurting us. |
It's playoff hockey for us. We can't take any night off, it's such a tight race. |
On a different occasion, maybe when it's not our second night, I think we have a little more jump. We were not as sharp mentally as we normally are. They're a good hockey team, but so are we. I think if we play them in the playoffs, we'll be ready and I think we'll give a better performance. |
Right now every win feels great. Were playing for the playoffs — it's right there for us if we continue to play well. |
Ryan did a good job getting it started. I thought we had really good puck movement on that, and it wound up not being a pretty goal, but we'll take it. |
