I thought it was great idea, just to give the fans a wave and just a sign that it's been the team all year, and it really was the team as the first star tonight. |
I thought that chance was going to come back to bite us, but it didn't. |
I thought they were our best line. I tried to get them more ice time. I thought they came out at the start of the third period and set the tone. They did what they needed to do. They put in a very determined effort and played a pretty smart, physical game for us. |
I thought we did a hell of a job. From the start of the game to the bitter end, the desperation was there. |
I thought we got what we needed. We've gotten scoring chances out of them, they haven't been a liability when they've been on the ice, and they've had some punishing hits. Those guys have really served their purpose the last two games. |
I thought when the game was on the line we were the better team on a night when a lot of weird things happened. |
I told the guys in there that this is a hell of an accomplishment, something they can be proud of. When you win on the road, it shows you have a team that competes night and night out. |
I want him suspended. I want him fined. I'll come to the hearing. I haven't called the league once; I'll call them 10 times tomorrow. If you go knee on knee and take a shot at a guy's head at the same time, you don't deserve to be in the game. We're going to the playoffs and you're going to take out of our best players because you couldn't take a hit? That's a joke, that's an absolute joke. |
I want him suspended. I want him fined. I'll go to the hearing if I have to. |
I was hoping to weather the first 10 minutes but we came out and controlled play and did the things we needed to do to set the tone for the game. |
I was trying to get him the last goal. Why not? He's a rookie that's played very well for us, an important piece. |
I was trying to get him the last one, and why not? He's a rookie who's played very well for us. He'd only played about four minutes going into the third period, so it was great to see him get it. |
I would anticipate him back. |
I would like to know who the first round opponent is, but I really have no preference. We can't control any of that. What I'd love is to narrow it down to one or two possibilities so we can bear down and study those teams. |
I'd rather have a 16, as in Stanley Cup playoff wins. |
