Earlier in the year, our mind-set when losing a third period lead was to hang our heads. But now the mind-set is there and it has been for the last month. |
I don't know what it was, maybe the net looked a little bit bigger for me. For whatever reason, sometimes you get one and you kind of keep rolling. I can't remember anything like this. |
I think it is the biggest win of the year. We played 60 minutes against a great team and especially a team in our division. We know that all those games are going to be huge for the rest of the season. It is only one game so we have to carry that on to the next game. |
I'm feeling comfortable now. At the beginning of the season, I was just excited and was going on a lot of energy. But it slows down and you get into a rhythm. I know I can play in this league. |
It was us, we sat back. We've got to go hard and keep pressing and we didn't do that. We sat back on our heels and a team like Atlanta with the firepower they have, (they) came out and took advantage of it. |
It's inexcusable, the way the third period went. You can't sit back like that. ... Tonight we sat back and took penalties. |
It's momentum, and they took advantage of the momentum. You could feel it, because they kept coming harder and harder. |
It's nice and special. Maybe the net just looked a little bigger in that period for me. |
My whole point this season was to prove to Boston they made a good choice when they picked me up. It was nice tonight especially after I started with Toronto and they kind of gave up on me and traded me. |
One thing I really enjoyed was for two games he coached us. That was awesome. You really got to see how good a coach he is. I had only known him by meeting him in the hallway and just shaking hands, but seeing him behind the bench, seeing his knowledge and the things he said, I was really impressed. |
Our power play just wasn't clicking. |
Right now I'm going in with the expectation of me doing well and trying to play my game and make them make a tough decision on where I fit in. |
So far I'm adapting pretty well. The biggest thing is that the guys on the team make it a lot easier, especially the older guys. |
That is one of the best goals I have ever seen him score. Every game he seems to top himself. |
We didn't give up a lot. Our defense played well, limited their chances. They didn't get a lot and it was a key part to our victory. |
