Deep inside, after Dallas has eliminated them all those times, it may be a case of (facing a different team). We definitely have to be ready. They're a good, quality team. |
Definitely. I'll see him again next year. |
I got a great opportunity to go in and make this team out of camp, and I did that and I'm really proud that I did. |
I tried to chip (the puck by him). I'll see him next year. |
I was open because both teams were changing. The puck was loose and the puck ended up with us. Zetterberg got it and I shot it through the legs. ... We showed so much patience, but we were frustrated, too, for two periods. There were penalties, but you didn't see them score any goals. |
It's just not quite 100 percent. It's getting close. |
It's nothing new to this team, especially having played Minnesota. We just have to break them down on the cycle and get it to the net. That's how you beat the 1-2-2, get it in and wear them down. |
It's worked out well. It took a lot of hard work and determination to get where I am. |
So, yeah, the rivalry is still there. Especially for the guys that have been around the last number of years. |
The biggest thing for me is injuries; that's what happens when you're tired. Scheduling-wise, personally I totally disagree with it. Especially the travel. It would be hard enough even if it was at home. When you're traveling, it's difficult on the body. |
The whole city gets excited this time of year. |
There are a lot of good people with the Coyotes, and I have a lot of good friends. But it's all business once I get to the rink. |
They have good players on their top two lines, a little more pop offensively. They have good speed. We have more depth, and in a seven-game series that could help down the stretch. |
They've got belief over there. We've got to take that away from them. |
Today wasn't as good as I thought I would feel. So hopefully tomorrow I'll feel better. |
