I'm starting to get used to it. Starting to see what guys are doing and how they block shots, so I know where to look when they're going to do it. |
I've done it for awhile, actually I learned it from Dominik ( Hasek ) in Buffalo. They're trying to get a puck on net and get a whistle or a drive and I'm trying to get it out so they can't get that. It worked tonight. Sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it does. |
I've got two or three months in the summertime for that. |
If we're going to have to pay escrow, I'd rather know right ahead. |
If you look at the playoff picture, we had to win. We've got to make sure we keep winning and try to use this as a snowball effect. |
In the playoffs, the team that wins is the one that's able to fight through the adversity. We did a good job fighting through the adversity. |
It hit my hand and went in the net. I had my stick there. That's the way the sticks are designed. The handle part is narrower, and that's where it hit. |
It really is exciting. I'm just trying to take advantage of the playing time. |
It's one of those things, he likes to go far side. He schooled me on it. All those years of practice and he got me. |
It's part of our job, isn't it? You have to deal with it whether it's a game day, or not a game day. You have to talk to the media, and some individuals do it, some don't? I don't know why they don't. |
Just another day in paradise. |
My head was spinning after the trade and I had an awful lot of rust because I wasn't playing [in Minnesota]. I'm getting rid of it. |
Not really worried about stealing games or anything else. Just give our guys a chance to win. That's all that matters. Unfortunately, we didn't win tonight. Like I said, at the end of the day that's the only thing that matters. |
Right now you have to put the satisfaction aside and focus on the playoff race. For me personally it's great, but for the team it's great that we were able to get this win. Hopefully this will create a snowball effect and we can keep on winning. |
Sure it's pressure but I welcome it. |
