Basically, I told them that we started playing their game a little bit - you take a turn scoring and I'll take a turn scoring. You don't win games like that. |
Coming back against a team like Colorado says a lot about our club. |
Even yesterday I didn't know what I wanted to do. I called my wife in the morning ... I couldn't talk to her on the phone. |
For the most part, we did a lot of really good things. The only thing I didn't like was when we got up we started to not do the things we were doing for the first part of the game that gave us the success. |
Guys were skating and moving the puck. I was happy with the pace. |
He's done that before. The first indication was that he was through for the game. We made our line switches but the next thing you know, there he was. |
I called my wife in the morning. |
I don't even know if I'm doing that or Lou's doing that. |
I don't know how confident and cool he is, but I know how confident and cool I am when I see him on the ice. |
I felt I was being out of character. |
I see the fairness of it, all the way through. |
I think Malakhov can log some of the minutes Niedermayer put up. Just look at the guy. He moves, passes the puck and shoots as well as anybody in the league. He just looks confident. |
I thought defensively we were in much better position. We're a little fragile in our own zone sometimes and guys will get running around a little bit. I thought our positioning was much better. |
I thought our positioning was good and that we were able to keep their players in front of us. When you're chasing, that's usually when you get penalties. |
I wasn't overly surprised, ... We hadn't heard too much what was going on. I figured if he was going to be playing he would have been out on the ice (at South Mountain last week). |
