I had to do something. (Neil) said, 'Your guys are running our guys.' I told him, in the playoffs, that's the way it'll be. You better stop whining and get used to it. The farther you go in the playoffs, the rougher it gets. |
I just went on the ice and drove the net. I don't know if I was hooked, but I tried to go back and it seemed like I slipped and it slid between his legs, so it was kind of lucky, but I'll take it. |
I tried to go backhand and maybe I got hooked. I just kind of tried to go backhand and it just slid between the legs. It was a lucky goal but I'll take it. |
I've been on teams like Ottawa and Tampa Bay, and when we played the last place team we'd think, all right, this is a good night for every guy to get a goal or whatever. Everyone looks at it that way. |
It was great to finally get it, because I heard most of the guys already got it who were on other teams, and I didn't know when I was going to get it. The (general manager) asked to see me after the game, so I just went, and he gave me my stuff. It was nice. It's pretty precious, and it's going to look good on my fireplace. |
It's good now to keep a positive attitude and have fun. |
Obviously, he's the star player on our team. Wherever he goes, he's an attraction. Teams, I think, approach games by saying, 'We've got to hit him and play in his face and play gritty.' But Sid has done a great job all year dealing with that. |
Sometimes it's hard to get going because it's early, but I think once you're in the warm-up, you're ready to go. And I kind of like them in a way because you get done early. |
That's how we did it when we were kids, outdoors on the pond or whatever. |
Tomas did a good job sticking up for Sid, and it's good to see the guys stick up like that. |
