We just came out and had a lot of puck luck. That's pretty much what the story was. They're a great team, we just came out and put the puck in the net. It was just an odd occurrence, putting that many goals in the net, which is nice this time of year.

Nikolai and I understood each other and we were cycling the puck down low very well,.. I think we will be able to find each other and have the final touch to put the puck in the net.

I understand there are people who were here before, like Mario [Lemieux], and he was the quarterback of the power play. We're probably going to use his skills a lot, so I'm probably not going to have the puck as much, but that's OK with me. As long as we're successful.

We have a lot of big, strong guys who used to make plays when people were hooking, and now, look at Joe (Thornton). He gets the puck in the neutral zone and no one can stop him. We have a lot of offensive guys on our team who thrive on that, and hopefully it's going to play right into our hands.

We have to keep our game simpler. Most of the time it's just getting the puck at the net instead of trying to make the perfect play.

Those games, you've got to really concentrate. They're probably going to get one chance, so I was just talking to myself, saying be ready to stop the puck and keep the lead.

The way they move the puck is fun to watch

I think we just weren't getting the bounces on Friday. The puck just seemed to bounce straight to their stick. We weren't finishing well and the puck just wasn't going into the net. Things just didn't go our way.

We've been getting a lot of shots blocked so I was just trying to make sure I got the puck to the net.

We'll just try to be the best we can be and have fun. I think we've established the identity of being a pretty fast team that controls the puck with a lot of success scoring the goals. That's pretty important in playoff games. I want to play our game and be responsive in the defensive zone as well.

You can't afford to go out there and watch too much,.. If you get caught watching, you're not going to get to the puck and not going to make good plays.

The defensemen went down and got out of position. So then the goalie had no choice but to play the shot so I knew Mark had an open shot. I gave him a quick look and got him the puck.

It was a great shot from the point, which is where we want the puck to be. That's a good shot and it's a tip that happens every once in awhile. You have to look at that and say, 'That's the breaks.' But we know the penalty kill hasn't been great lately and we need to work on it.

We've had the same season-long problems. We make mental mistakes, whether it results in a penalty or a turnover, and we don't shoot the puck enough... You can't score unless you shoot.

When you have a guy who can put the puck in the net, check the league, there aren't too many guys like that.

We're learning. We're starting to understand how to be patient with the puck and we're limiting our mistakes which is important with a young team.

Both of these guys are very similar players. They both have a lot of speed. They are fairly small, they are not huge guys, but they are fairly quick. They have terrific hands. The kind of game we want to play is really an up tempo style of play, very fast with a lot of puck movement and that is what these guys play.

During his days here, it was his clubhouse. If you stepped out of line, Puck was there to deal with you. It was like as a big brother. He was everybody's big brother. And you can see today with how everyone is feeling that he still has that impact on the clubhouse.

Jiri can do wonders with the puck.
wonders puck
I was just trying to catch him. He had a little bit of a step on me. I just waited for him to bring the puck over and I went to lift his stick. But he moved his stick and I brought mine up on him. It was unlucky I guess but they made it count.

That's one of the hardest games I've worked this year, I felt. To get nothing accomplished is real frustrating. I was hound-dogging that puck at both ends like it was nobody's business, like I haven't eaten in a month, and I didn't get anything for it.
business games real puck
We talk about our shifts. I think we have a good understanding of each other. My role is to carry the puck and keep it as long as I can, and their role is to get it to me and then head to the net.
good understanding talk head puck
I was surprised I had so much time behind the net, and Mueller was yelling (for the puck) at the top of his lungs. Two guys went toward him and I just walked out front and backhanded it in.

Shooting the puck quicker and passing the puck quicker: Those are two things we're not doing right now.

I saw him come off the bench and down the slot and they made a good play to get the puck to him. I looked up and saw it was Mitchell, their best player.
