I think the later it goes, the more we should stick to this team. For a guy to not really play all that time and then get thrown into the playoffs? You are asking a lot of a young man. |
I think they lost to Sweden in Salt Lake City and came back to win. They have a really strong group mentally. They'll be fine. |
I think we all knew it was a big game for us. In many ways, it would be tough not to say this clinches the division. |
I think we can play with this team. It's not like we don't think we can beat them. |
I thought he really was great at being in the paint, knowing when to finish, when to pump fake, when to pass. He made the right decisions. It's really difficult to guard him when he makes those decisions. |
I thought we changed our attitude and momentum so much that we were feeling confident. We kept competing and things started to click for us offensively. |
I thought we had a really good camp, |
I thought we just played really solid tonight. It would be nice to be 3-2 up but we're in a position now where we can ride the momentum and let it all hang out in LA. |
I used to collect hockey cards. It was like Vegas at my school. You'd go to school with your box of cards, and at recess and lunchtime there were all these games we'd play. |
I was bummed, but I'm happy for him, ... I told him, 'I just want you to go where you're happy. Obviously, I want you to be here.' I thought he was pretty close to coming. |
I was lucky. I felt great. I felt pretty confident before the game, but there was definitely still some uncertainty. As the game went on, I definitely gained confidence and didn't feel any problem with it. |
I'm more than happy to go to war with Mike. Mike's a great coach. He won Coach of the Year. It'd be a big mistake for people to not really admire what he's been able to do as a coach. |
I'm ready to roll now. I'm excited. |
I'm ready to roll now. I'm excited. We have to go out there and be ourselves in the playoffs. We have to just keep doing what we do and be confident. |
I'm very excited about that, ... He's a great player, a great teammate and a great guy. |
