games wins
We're still in this thing. We have two games to go at home. Two more wins and we can still get in.
bought developed finding good key neutral offence winning
We've all bought into it. It's the key to us winning the series. Most of their offence is developed out of the neutral zone. We have to do it. They are so good at finding those holes. We think it's something that has to be done.
chance game good obviously practice ready slow speed strengths time work
Obviously it's good to have some practice time to get ready for Detroit. One of the strengths of their game is their neutral-zone play and we have to try and slow their speed down, so it's good to get out there and have a chance to work on that.
behind calm game
We have the first game behind us. I think we'll calm down more now.
teams wear
We never give up. We wear a lot of teams down.
huge points satisfied six worse
We've been in a lot worse situations. We're happy, but not satisfied with where we are at the break. For us to be (three) points up and not six points back is going to be huge for us.
expect game hockey matched playoff rode start taken team
There hasn't been one game where one team has taken it from the start and just rode with it. That's just playoff hockey between two evenly matched teams. We don't really expect too much different in Game 6.
matter talent time
The kid's got unbelievable talent. It's only a matter of time for him.
area definitely five four improved last per playoffs power
It's definitely an area we need to improve. If we could have improved our power play last season, just four or five per cent, we would have been in the playoffs easily.
given good intensity opportunity ourselves realize time tough win
We've put ourselves in a good situation, given ourselves a good opportunity to win at home. But at the same time we realize it's going to be a tough game. We have to come out with a lot of intensity because it's not going to be easy.
against chances created excellent finish game life offense penalties save seems win
Every goalie we play against seems to have the game of his life against us. We created some excellent chances but we couldn't finish any of our chances off. Even with all the penalties we had to kill, I think we created enough offense to win the game, but when he's (Miller) making save after save, all you can do is keep shooting.
We should be pretty experienced when it comes down to it.
game positives took wait
We took some positives out of that game and we can't wait to get into Game 2.
