couple games played pulled talked together west
We talked about our first couple of games in the West and I don't think we played the way we wanted to. We regrouped and really pulled things together after that.
cost game goal gotta overall
We've got to be better five-on-five. The short-handed goal cost us, but it's the overall game we gotta look at.
couple created crowd momentum
We wanted to get on them early. Our first couple of shifts were huge, got the crowd into it. We created a lot of momentum with that.
exhibition fans fortunate forward game great looking seen sold
I was fortunate enough to play an exhibition game there, so I've seen the place before, I know how it is. It's sold out every night, and the fans are really into it. It's just a great place to play, and I'm looking forward to it.
days full happen kept rest talking
Days like this don't happen too often, so you have to take full advantage. We'd been talking a lot about our starts, and it was an unbelievable start, and it just kept going through the rest of the game.
bit forward fun nervous player time
As a player you're kind of nervous all the time. You don't really know what's going on, especially this being my first time around this situation. It is a little bit nerve-racking. But as a fan, it's a fun thing to look forward to.
finally fun happen hard pay team work
It's awesome. It doesn't happen too often. So it's fun to see the team work hard and have it finally pay off.
dream hopefully night remember special
It's something you dream about. The first one, hopefully the first of many. It's a special night. I'll remember it for a while.
bunch capable effort far guys honest hopefully outside people ways
It was more the people on the outside who thought that. On the inside, we know what we're capable of. We're a young bunch of guys that give an honest effort every night. So far it's been good, and hopefully it's a ways to go.
couple felt finally good knew shot
I knew I could play. I knew that if I would get my shot I would be able to stick, and I finally did. I had a couple good years in Rochester, and I felt comfortable out there.
easy good listen locker room starts talking walks
He's really a good speaker. Once he walks into a locker room and starts talking to us, I think it's pretty easy to listen to him. He catches everybody's attention.
advantage behind forward paid realized stick straight taking
I don't think he realized I was right behind him. He had his back turned, and I just swatted his stick and it went straight in. It was kind of taking advantage of a forward out there, and it paid off.
