Montreal showed a little more that they wanted me. That's why I think they got me here. If Pittsburgh showed a little bit more interest, it could have been different. You never know. |
My point of view is that I really don't care who they have in goal. That's their game. That's their changes. Whatever they do, I shouldn't focus on it at all. |
Sometimes, when you can't score it yourself, you have to get somebody else to score for you. |
That was an accident. I didn't know where to go so I closed my eyes and made a move. |
The first game means nothing. The second game is the test of character. |
The way the fans support me here is unbelievable. |
The way the fans support me here is unbelievable. It gives you an extra boost and, I don't think I really need the confidence, but definitely gives you extra energy to come out the next time and beat the next team. |
They weren't close to what I was asking for. We had some talks and then we asked for certain things, and I guess they didn't believe what Montreal was giving us, and they didn't want to give us that much money. |
This has never happened to me before, |
We just ran out of energy. When you take so many penalties, it's going to cost you eventually. |
We played such a great game there was no reason really to quit. We knew how good we were playing and how many chances we had. And we kept getting them every shift. We had to capitalize on one of them and that's what we did. We came out, we had a chance and we scored. |
We're just competing. All we're focusing on now is start playing better hockey defensively, neutral zone. We always talk about whatever the score is we have to play a full sixty minutes, that's what's happening. |
We're trying to bring our hockey back to what you used to watch on TV as a young kid - moving the puck, making fancy plays. |
We've got to find a way to make it easier on ourselves, |
When we take a lead we should be a smart team, but we haven't shown that too often so far. But I know our guys are going to play a little smarter and they know how important every game is in the playoffs. I believe in this team and I said at the beginning of the season that this team is going to surprise a lot of people. So we'll see. |
