I think everyone is kind of counting us out right off the bat. They're not giving us much of a chance. Hopefully we'll go over there and shock a lot of people. |
I think people were loving the fact that we were a mess here for a while. |
I think the team's gone through a lot. One thing, we knew the potential of this club. We stuck with it. That's been the main goal. |

If penalties are going to be called like that than specialty teams are going to be the difference. |
If you love hockey, that's what it's all about. |
In these last 10 games we've done what we've had to do. We needed to win those points and we just kept rolling and when you've got confidence on your side, it's really important. |
