They seem to be in a little bit of a funk right now, ... They didn't seem to have a lot of jump tonight and we're going really well. |
They sprung a couple of guys once in a while, but we know Dom is there and he's going to make some great saves. Our defense has been overshadowed because we have such a great offense. |
They're just trying to showcase themselves. I thought we handled it well. |
They've won it. We can play well against them, but, at the same time, we do respect them. |
Things are going well, you know, and confidence is a big thing. |
This conference playoffs is going to be very tough. |
This is a good win for us. |
This is a great opportunity. We don't want to have to go back to Florida. We obviously know that this is the biggest game of the year for us and we want to go out there and set the tone right away. |
This is what means the most. |
This was Ted's idea. He had the support on the (Aug. 31) conference call, but he wanted to make sure that everybody was okay with him being the executive director. Hopefully, we'll be able to put this all behind us. |
Toronto played well. It was close right until the end. |
We all feel the pressure. Maybe Canada more than anybody and the U.S. less than anybody but we all feel the pressure. |
We all knew coming into this building it would be a hard-fought game. It was a big boost for us going into the playoffs to win a big game like that. |
We all smelled the fear of that game against Switzerland. Hopefully we can bring that out tomorrow as well. |
We believe we have a good chance this year, and we're going to make the most of it. It's real exciting to be able to be part of the playoffs again, knowing that we're one of the teams that has a chance to go all the way. |
