Every time we've played them it's been low-scoring. We have a tough time generating offense against them. That puts pressure on us to take advantage of the chances we got. It's frustrating. |
Five out of eight points is pretty good. Any time you can go on the road and close some ground is pretty good. |
Here. I'll set you up. |
I saw the replay. It could have been worse. It wasn't like a vicious play, but it was kneeing. He's not the type of guy who goes out and tries to hurt players. |
I started thinking about this camp as soon as last year's was over. Going to your first camp is tough, and the injury made it even tougher. But I learned how to prepare myself and what was expected of me. I can do all the things that are necessary. I just have to show I can do it night in and night out. |
I'm sure that in a couple of days, I won't even know it's on there. It shouldn't affect the way I play. |
If we win the last three games, we have a shot at home ice, so that's our goal right now. |
It doesn't matter to us. We want to play Nashville right now because that means we finished fourth or fifth. We're just trying to finish as high as we can. If we end up finishing sixth and we play these guys, that will be fun, too. If we win the last three games, we have a shot at home ice, so that's our goal right now. After that, it doesn't really matter if it's Nashville, Calgary, Dallas, whoever. |
It takes a toll, yeah, but I think we're taking the same toll on them. They have some guys who have been getting hit a lot, as well. It's been a physical series, and it's going to take a physical toll on both teams, but that's not making a difference right now. |
It was a pretty fortunate play, but one you have to take advantage of. |
It's a dirty play, no question about it. I don't know. I mean, the guy's coming right at me. I have him beat, and he kind of just drags his leg. It's definitely something you don't like guys doing. |
That's a bad call. They watch video just like we do, they'll see it. |
The second one was big. The power play hadn't been clicking too good. It showed a lot from our team, because no doubt about it, we lost our composure in the third period (Wednesday). Today, we came out like nothing had happened. |
They've been giving me a pretty good opportunity all year. Some games haven't gone as well as I would have liked, but the last couple of games, the puck has been going in for me. |
To start out the road trip with a loss at Columbus, and then win the next two, especially this one against Nashville which has the best home record in the league is pretty impressive. |
