It's nicer to have them chant your name than to do the opposite. |
It's really close, winning and losing. It's usually one pass play, one power play or one PK (penalty kill). If we raise the bar a little higher, we're going to be all right. |
Our communication is better, ... Everyone knows where they have to be. |
Sometimes it doesn't really matter how you win, just as long as you win. I've been playing, I would say, pretty good of late and I can be happy that we score a lot of goals. That helps. |
Sometimes it's good for the confidence for sure but the better your team plays the better it is for the team. My job is to stop those and I think I did a pretty good job in the first period. |
That's the way it is. You just have to play well and don't give him a reason to pull you. |
The first 20 minutes they worked harder than us. That's why they were up 3-1. |
The first one (by Smyth) wasn't a goal. It was clear he kicked it in. The second one, well . . . I don't know. I think it was a pretty close call. |
The last two games I've played better, the way I know I can. I've been struggling, but it's good to be back. |
The thing I have the most problem with is consistency. We saw it already. The equipment isn't consistent from brand to brand and from goaltender to goaltender. I would like to see that changed. Some pads were wider than others. |
There are going to be days like this and periods like the first. |
There are going to be days like this and periods like the first. It was the same thing in Chicago. Today it was the first period. In Chicago it was a bad second period. |
There are so many bodies in front of the net. There took a little bit more liberties. |
There's a lot of confidence in the whole team and we never know who we're going to play in the playoffs. |
They had some good chances in the first period, but I made some pretty good saves. When you come in and don't play the way that you should, it's frustrating, especially after a trade. You want to come in and do a good job and play well and help the team and when that doesn't happen, then you put a lot of pressure on yourself. It was good tonight to get two points. |
