Avery has got to be up there. It's all he does. |
Barnaby has got to be the best. He's always talking, everywhere he goes. When he's got the puck, when he's on the bench, he's always yapping. |
But we talked after the first period and we went out and did everything we wanted. Guys went to the net and were rewarded with goals. |
He's been our heart and soul and we know he's always with us. Everybody needs to bring more. It's not one guy who's going to replace him. |
Is it too late for me? |
It will be like a playoff game, very tight and intense. It will be a big challenge for us. |
The guys were a little nervous and we were making little mistakes that cost us games, |
The most important thing is it was the first win here, |
They've had their problems, but you never know when they're going to explode. They have a lot of talented players and we know we have to work hard if we want to stay ahead of them. |
This is the same problem we've had all year. We're not playing the system. |
We had a good start and things were going well. And suddenly we just gave up and didn't stick with the game plan. ... It's 60 minutes. If you quit after five minutes, the game's over. |
We had to be ready tonight because we knew they were going to come out strong, ... They're in a slump right now so you never know when they're going to explode and play their best game. We came out strong and had a good first period, then we just watched them for the last 40 minutes. |
We were already playing good hockey before the Olympic break. We were playing with confidence, and it's that confidence that we brought with us on this trip. |
When you (have) the lead, you have to keep pushing. We just kept pushing. |
Within a few days I should know when I could step on the ice for a game. The guys are winning, so there's probably no rush for me to step in. |
