A fluke. Pittsburgh was one of the few teams left. They had to take them. |
A lot of guys get traded on that day; it's not really fun. There are very few guys that want to get traded. |
Everybody else was going to make a big deal about it, but we just decided we weren't going to get involved in that. We were just going to play. And whoever's playing, the other guy supports him and works hard. That's the way we approached it. |
For me, it's better to be out for a week or two weeks, than be out for three months. It doesn't feel as bad as what they say, but I've never had a groin injury, so I don't know how long it will be. I don't feel I'll be out that long, for some reason. I don't know. I have to wait to put my stuff on, see how I feel. |
Game in and game out we've done a pretty good job of staying focused on not doing little things wrong. It gets to a point where it seems the games roll into each other. We just made some mental errors. It's a game against Columbus in March. We're not too concerned about it. We still ended up getting a point. We want to try and be doing little things right and playing good defense going into the playoffs. We played a good game. This kind of stuff happens. |
He doesn't really talk about his accomplishments too much. Half the time when he does accomplish something, nobody even knows it's coming up because he doesn't say anything or nobody else says anything. He has more goals than Mario ... he's been a pillar of strength for our organization. |
He doesn't really talk about his accomplishments too much. He seems to be getting better and better for the playoffs. |
He gives them a chance to win. (When) he plays like that, and they play stingy, they're a tough team to beat. |
He's a good goalie. He's fast and agile. He's just been hurt this season. That set him back from playing in a lot of games. |
He's quiet, he doesn't reveal if he's nervous. He just goes and plays. If he plays the same way he has in the regular season, he'll be fine. I think your game goes up to the next level with the atmosphere. With the situation he's going to be in, his game will go up naturally. |
I don't know why. I've just always enjoyed playing in this building and playing against them. It's just one of those things. I can't pinpoint it other than I like playing against them. |
I don't look forward to the day because I don't like to see guys get traded that I like, or other guys. I didn't want to get traded from the Islanders but then when I did, reality set in that I'd been traded. It's a wild day. It's a crazy day. |
I expected to play more, but Manny's been playing great. It's a tough adjustment for me just to play however many games I play, but everybody has a role on the team and that's all I can do. |
I felt good from the start. Moving around early helped me. |
I had to figure what was I going to do with my house in Long Island, how I was going to move everything, whether my family was going to come to St. Louis, and where I was going to stay. It was crazy. Playing is the easy part. |
