He was firing it from everywhere. He got a couple of nice, high-shot goals and he buried the one in the shootout, so he had a pretty good game. |
He's the best player in the league. That's not saying anything (bad) about a lot of players in this league, but he's the best I've seen. |
I just think we're keeping it simple out there and we're making it difficult on the other team. We dug ourselves a hole early in the season but we still have a lot to play for in this room, pride being a lot of it. |
I think my play so far this season has been pretty good. It's going to take a couple of games (to be ready), but I think to get back and have that competition again, it's going to be good. Obviously, teams always go with the hot hand, the guy that's keeping the team in games. I'm looking forward to getting back and feeling like I can do that. |
I want to establish myself as a No. 1 goalie in the NHL. If that's the opportunity I've been given, then it's all up to me on how I perform. |
I'm just trying to do my job. The guys are getting some good blocked shots for me and letting me see the rest. |
It just kind of seemed like there were good opportunities to be had out there. It was kind of sloppy at each end. |
It was a tape-to-tape pass, right there on the doorstep. I just couldn't get over there quick enough. |
It would have been nice to keep on taking advantage of it until the end of the season. |
It's always nice to make a difference. I know I might have been shaky at the start, but to come up with a couple of big saves in overtime and the shootout ... for us to get the win, it's pretty big. |
It's been a struggle, but I think we're staying in games and giving ourselves a chance to win. If we can keep doing that, then hopefully we'll be able to capitalize and get some wins. |
It's funny how clean that one went in ... just right in the middle of the net. |
It's funny how clean that went in ... it could have went through the little slit, you know, those boards that they used to put up between periods. |
Like Dougie (Weight) says, it's learning to win again. It's doing the little things that it takes to win, tonight was a prime example of that. The last two games were good examples of a lot of the leadership and a lot of the character in the room. |
My foot got caught in an awkward position and I rolled my knee on it. I was looking forward to finishing the season strong. I was feeling good in there and it's just frustrating right now. |
