We really wanted to win and it felt good to get the two points. They had a lot of young players and they had nothing to lose. They come in here, skating real hard from the beginning. We just needed to change momentum, and I think we did in the second period.
When you win, shoot-outs are a lot of fun. They're not as fun when you lose.
When I was first drafted, I was just happy that any team wanted to take me, but it was the Red Wings, and that made it better.
It's huge. We've got eight games against them and 16 points to play for. Probably the guys who win the most games is going to be above in the standings, so it's going to be really important to win those games.
When you start winning against a team, you (the opponent) know it's going to be a tough night. Ozzie saved us. Ozzie helped us out a lot, he had a lot of good saves.
The puck was a little bit bouncing. So I just tried to get a swing on it and I got a pretty good hit on the puck.
He given us a chance to win the games. No one blames Manny.
The first one was kind of lucky. I took a swing on it, and it landed in the net.
It's nice to win to keep good chemistry. We just want to keep everybody fresh and keep the momentum for the playoffs.
In the third, they might be a little tired, and I think we came out strong and put the game away. It's good to win these games. That's the only game we have against them. It's good for the boost.
We weren't very happy with the way we played. We just wanted to finish off a good home season. I saw Homer standing in front (for the winning goal) and I was hoping he'd tip it.
We just wanted to play a really good game. We needed to win this game.
We want to win the whole thing (the Stanley Cup).
