A few guys are going good, right now. |
By no means is this series over. We know they're going to come out with a burst, so we have to make sure we match their intensity. |
Confidence is a big part of the game. He had it tonight. The other night I thought he was fighting it. |
Don't get me wrong. I've been fortunate to be asked so many times. I want not to be asked this year because I'm still playing in the playoffs. I take pride in making the playoffs. I've been around the longest and I'm sick of going to the world championships. |
Each one of us has to look in the mirror and simplify things - do our little things that everybody in here does best and what makes you accountable to the team and bring that to the table. I don't care if we win 2-1 - just get the win in Colorado. |
Every player hates sitting out and watching whether they're injured or a healthy scratch especially when things are not going so smooth, |
He gloved it, put it down in front of him and knocked it in. It looked like he took two or three strides with it. |
He grabbed it midway from the corner on out and gloved it down in front of him and hit it in. That's what I was saying. |
He's coming close to playing 600 games in the NHL and those are things that you have to be able to put behind you. He did that and I thought he played really well in Game 2. |
He's settling in great. Tonight was a huge win for him. He kept us in the hockey game. |
I don't know how you should decide a game, but it is for the fans and I know we had to make some adjustments and changes to the game. We got the better end of this one. |
I don't know why we weren't ready. Especially for that big of a game this late in the season. I have no answer for you. |
I got lucky, I guess. It worked out. |
I take the onus on that one. I didn't get the puck in deep enough, turned it over and then it was in our net. |
I think we can play both styles. We've done it in the past and it's not a huge change for us. Going up against a team like Detroit that controls the neutral zone really well, we just have to make sure we're deflecting it to the outside. |
