It`s always good to get the lead early. We`ve struggled a bit with that this year. Tonight I thought we played well once we got the lead and we shut them down.
I`ve just been getting chances and the puck just seems to be finding the net.
I`d probably like to keep going (with games), but I`m going to use the break to my advantage. A few minor injuries will have the chance to heal up, it`s a chance to get refreshed and rejuvenated and to do some off-ice conditioning.
We`ve got to put this one behind us. We`ve got one more game on the road against Vancouver. You can`t stress the importance of these games. We need these points for getting into the playoffs.
He definitely has that intensity on the ice, a desire to win. When you see that it`s contagious, everyone follows him. He`s the leader. You learn something every day watching him on the ice.
The advantage is we finished on a good note, so that winning feeling is hopefully instilled in this locker room.
It`s playoff hockey for us. We can`t take any night off, it`s such a tight race.
We had some fun and got away from the rink.
The day off yesterday helped. We had a little bit of fun and it showed tonight. We were fresh on the ice and we had a little jump to us.
I try not to think about it too much. Usually if you do the other things, the little things, the one-on-one battles, and focus on some of the other things, things take care of themselves. When you`re on a streak, you try not to evaluate it too much. You just go play your game.
