On the game:
It was not as sharp as we wanted to be, but we have to give them, obviously credit. They made a couple of nice plays. But at the end of the day we got the two points and it wasn’t the easiest two points, but we’ll take them.
On establishing momentum in the game:
I mean the first period wasn’t as sharp as we wanted to be, and then after that I thought we played pretty well. But we were down two goals, so obviously the two late in the second gave us the boost for the third.
On Robyn Regehr’s goal:
He’s been hot. He’s been riding the streak for what, Three weeks now? It’s awesome.
On the adjustments that have to be made in a high scoring game:
You know at some point you’re going to have to do a good job of checking, and I thought we did that really well late in the third. Jonesy came up some huge saves obviously, and we locked it down pretty well.
On this being a “character win” for the team:
Yeah, I think so. We could’ve packed it in easily and blamed it on the Olympic break. Okay, it’s the first game back. Chalk it up with a couple of excuses, but we didn’t’ get down. We believed and we were playing hard for each other and at the end of the day, the results were good for us.
