They've been getting the bounces. Part of playoff hockey, part of the series, there'll be times when you go through droughts. Myself, there's been times when I have an empty net and I've been hitting the goalie in the (butt) or missing the net. Those bounces are going to come to us sooner or later. |
This was huge because Kitchener's right on our heels. We've got to keep winning, and we're doing a great job right now. |
We hate them every bit as much as they hate us. |
We've become pretty good friends through playing with the Americans (at the world junior hockey championship). We'll chirp each other now and then and we'll give each other a slash when we have to, but it'll be good to go up against him. It's a good test for our team. |
What we need to do is hit Bobby Ryan a little more. He's a tough guy and he's trying to get through the neutral zone a little too easily. Maybe we need a good open-ice hit or a few more hits to slow him down. We do that, maybe we do a better job of shutting him down. |
