A lot of players have different opinions about the way we've played, so sometimes you need to maybe bring what you think and take the best of it. That's something we had to do and I think there are a lot positives from what we talked about and we should see a difference on the ice tomorrow. |
A lot of the guys were going to bed early because there were guys who had slept on the plane and guys who hadn't. I talked to a lot of guys (yesterday) who were able to sleep until 9 a.m. Hopefully, the adjustment isn't going to be that difficult and we're able to get the rest we need as we go forward for the rest of the tournament. |
A win on the road like this, we know it's never easy, especially here in Carolina. Both teams were tired after traveling. But I feel very good at the end when you finally get the two points. |
After they scored, we decided to play. It's playoff time. It's not acceptable for a team not to be ready to play. We need to find a way to get momentum right away. |
Forsberg to Gagne ... he scores! |
He does a great job guarding low. We have to bring it up on him. |
He played very well. He made some big saves, especially in the second period. I don't want to say we took the game over, but we played better in the second. We had a couple of great chances and he made big saves. |
He sees me pretty well on the ice. He's amazing. He finds me everywhere. He's fun to play with. |
He was pretty good. We all felt bad -- but we need to be positive. |
He's looking for me all the time, even when I'm not open. I told him on the bench to think about himself sometimes and just shoot it. It's amazing what Peter can do with the puck. |
He's one of the best guys I knew. |
He's the best player in the world. He's amazing one-on-one. I just try to get open. I know at some point he will find me. |
I don't know what reason there is so early in the season to have that kind of break. |
I had no idea the puck was in. But when I went to talk to the referee, he said the puck was in. He said they called that one in from Toronto. I don?t know if that?s a new thing in the NHL, but it?s always fun when you?ve got those kinds of goals on your side. |
I haven't had much success with shootouts so I was a little nervous. Maybe next time will be a little smoother. |
