advantage board knew mentioned rule start year
We didn't really use that as bulletin board material. We mentioned it once at the start of the year but we knew what we had. We wanted to use the new rule interpretations to our advantage and we did that.
discipline game playoffs score shut teams three
You do have to play better. In the playoffs it's going to be a different game; you're only going to score two or three a game because teams are going to shut it down. Discipline will be at a different level, so you won't get as many power-play opportunities, so we have to be better.
controlled fresh guys players running three time zone
We rotate a lot of players in those positions. The guys go out there 20, 25 seconds. The first time it's out of the zone we get a change, get some fresh legs. That allows us to get a lot of pressure, and it's a controlled pressure. When one guys goes, the other three know how to respond. It's not a free-for-all, running around.
dull good half period pick puck scoring second speed third throughout
We really got going in the second half of the second period and in the third period, ... We got good scoring chances, we got the puck to the net, we got our speed going. I think more and more throughout the preseason you're going to see the new NHL, where they will pick up speed and not have those dull moments.
crashing game good kept marty played road saves
We played a very good road game for two periods. We were all over them. Marty made some big saves that kept them in the game. If we play like that on the road, defensively and crashing the net, we'll be OK.
game reason team
We can't use that as an excuse. We're a much better team than what we showed. That's not the reason why the game went the way it did. We all know that and that's all that's got to be said for that.
bit care legs practice shaking welcome
I didn't care one bit if my legs were shaking at the end of practice. I want it; I welcome it. That's how we're going to get better.
coming intention top welcome whoever
I don't care. I want it. I welcome it. Whoever comes out on top is going to be the better for it. And I have all the intention that I'm going to be coming out on top of everything.
credit gone guys
Give these guys credit. They could have just gone through the motions, mailed it in. We haven't done that all year.
high move puck
He made the move to his forehand really quick, and got the puck up just high enough to get it over my pad. He executed it pretty well.
anytime finds good hard spots willing work
He's got good hands, he finds the spots to get open. Anytime you've got that and you're willing to work hard like he is, you're going to make things happen.
ahead minutes thinking time year
I think that's the first time this year that for 60 minutes I was always thinking ahead a step.
