It's good to get the win, first, and for me to have a good game, it is nice. I try to do my best, and sometimes it's not working, sometimes it works. You just forget if you get scored on, and try to bounce back. |
It's real important for the guys to know they can count on me the rest of the year. |
Obviously when you get a shutout you did something good and the desperation save at the end was a little bit lucky but it was very important too. |
Of course with a minute remaining you're going to have to start thinking about it but I'm lucky, I didn't face him. |
Overall I made a lot of progress this year. I worked on the little details, the small things that make you better. |
Roberto played great and kept them in the game during the first and second periods. The difference was Kovalev. He can change a game like that with his skill. |
That's a tough loss. They're a direct opponent for a spot in the playoffs and we let that one slip away in the second period. |
That's always nice but he should have stopped probably after a couple of punches, maybe. |
That's sad because I'm going to be on the highlights. But that was a great move and definitely a killer for us. |
That's what I'm here for. We have two goalies and when needed, we've got to step up and do the job. The matter is to help the team right now, that's what we need. |
The chance for me would be to play in the playoffs and play good and prove everybody I can be the go [to] guy. You have to play great every time if you want to keep your job in the NHL. |
The difference tonight was Kovalev. He's a great player who can change a game like that with his skills. |
The referees did a good job in the last game, so that's encouraging for the next game. If they have to do that to score on me, that's a great challenge for me, too. But if they want to do something stupid, they'll be in the box. |
The team is playing real well in front of me. It was our physical play and the PK (penalty kill) was the success tonight. It was a team win. |
They didn't have a lot of good quality chances. Tonight is going to be very important for us. We know they're going to come hard, and if we can match that, we have a good chance. We just have to keep the game tight and play smart. |
