I'm not as sharp as I'd like to be, |
I've mentioned a few times to Rick if you do that, you'll be unstoppable. |
I've scored two or three goals in my career off a skate, but not a game-winner like that. |
In that particular situation I already knew I had to bring the puck to the net. I guess good things happen once in a while. |
It was a good test for us tonight. We were a patient team, we stayed with the program, and we played well defensively. |
Nikolai and I understood each other and we were cycling the puck down low very well, ... I think we will be able to find each other and have the final touch to put the puck in the net. |
No, I don?t look at the standings. I would know when we win 10 in a row. It?s not so much what (the standings) are worth and not worth, I just don?t want to get too excited before anything has happened. . . . I take sort of a different mental approach, to maintain focus, and just because I?m busy. Very busy. |
Obviously, they (owners) don't want to have a season, |
The first 10 minutes was what I'm really used to doing. If we can get a few more of those we can put a good winning streak together. |
The Red Wings have always had the big-name players. But Nashville is a good, young hockey team that plays very aggressively. They just have to forget about all those big names and focus on what they want to accomplish. They have to compete with whoever's on the ice. |
We are basically working for next season, the last 20 games it's important for us to find the core chemistry of our team. This organization wants to make the playoffs. |
We played a great first period and then we found a way to shoot ourselves in the foot again. We?re all guilty. |
You go to the net and good things happen ? sometimes. |
