I think it would've been a very big disappointment if we didn't win. You don't know what (a loss) would've done to the psyche of a young team. But to win, that lifts everybody. |
I think it's a heck of an accomplishment. It's a mark nobody would have expected at the start of the year. ... It's something they should be proud of. |
I think maybe the benefit was him getting the couple weeks off late in the year. He looks as fresh as training camp to me. He's been solid, he's been quick, just very reliable and very few poor decisions. |
I think that we're getting there, ... Those are two lines that could stick for a while. |
I think this is the most talented team that I've coached here. |
I think we're going to rebound. Will it be Friday? I hope, but it's a monumental task against a team that's going really well. |
I think we've seen the benefit of how we play, and the fans have come back. They like how we play and how hard we work, and it's just something you want to keep going. |
I think you adjust with the players you have. I think we're a talented group that's surprised a lot of people. For myself, I just let those guys play - not worry so much about the little mistakes in the game, more worried about the things that are happening all the time. |
I thought about giving him another start, but I thought there was fatigue in Marty's game and, with fatigue, you worry about getting hurt. |
I thought both of them were very good. I thought Marty had a very sound game, made a lot of big saves. Ryan had one screen shot beat him that he didn't see at all, and then a huge scrum in front of the net, where the puck ended up getting pushed over. He was very good. |
I thought coming out in the third period we really set the tone. We made a statement that we were trying to go after it. We went after it hard. We got some key saves, some key defensive plays that allowed our power play to win the game. |
I thought Danny was OK. Compared to practice, things are happening faster out there. As the game went on he got better, but he still has a ways to go. |
I thought he was OK. |
I thought it was awesome just to get back in the building and get the game day preparation going and the reaction from the fans. Once the fans got into it late in the second, you could feel the energy in the building. |
I thought it was cheap, I thought he went low at the knees. It may not be the dirtiest hit ... but he didn't have to go low. He's known for that. He's a cheap shot artist. |
