A lot of guys just got off the flight yesterday. There's no excuses but that's the reality. |
During the lockout, I must've watched Miracle 80 to 100 times. It just always seemed to be on, and every time it was on I watched it. You never get sick of seeing it. |
Ever since [Burke] has come in here, I've heard nothing but good things about him, and that's all I've seen, ... The two or three weeks that I've known him, he's been a great guy, we've hung out and it's going to be a great relationship. |
Feels good to be able to make some saves and be out there battling. |
He's a veteran who's been through it. When you're looking for leadership, guys with experience have first-hand knowledge. You respect them that much more. |
I didn't know that until just now. I was just focused on whenever I did get a shot, to make the stop. It was a good job by the team. |
I don't know if it deflected or what. It was going straight at my blocker; I kind of jumped up to grab it and it went through my arms. |
I don't know if it got deflected or what, but it was going straight at my blocker and went straight down. I kind of jumped up to grab it and it went through my arms. It hit my jersey. That was it. |
I don't know Robert at all. Actually, this will be the first time I meet him. He called me a month ago and said some type of quote appeared. I never read it. He said whatever it was, it was taken out of context. |
I don't know why you ever would. I'm sure there are doubters out there, but all that matters is what we believe in here. We never lost doubt or confidence or anything. Anybody can think what they want, but the most important thing is what we think. |
I don't think it really enters your mind, ... You control what you can control. You go out and play well and that's all you can do. It's pointless to sit and think why is this happening or why is that happening. You go out and do what you can do. The rest of it should take care of itself. |
I have to be more consistent night in and night out. |
I haven't gotten a lot of sleep in the last 24 hours, but if we were ready to play -- I'd be ready. When that puck drops there is something right there. You may not have as much juice as you normally would, but you'd definitely be focused and ready to go. |
I haven't heard or seen them, but I'm sure they are not good. I guess I'll take advice my parents gave me that if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything. |
I just think we have a very resilient bunch of guys. We've been there, we learn from our mistakes pretty quick. We go out and correct something that went wrong and go out and apply it to the next game. I think maybe that's the biggest thing we are able to do. |
