For a second we were holding each other, face washing, and then he started throwing. We were one goal down, so I didn't want to be in the box for five minutes. That's why I didn't want to fight. If he's a good fighter, great. Maybe he should fight some tougher guys. |
I had chances before. They just weren't going in. I'm just getting lucky breaks now, that's all it is. |
If Chicago was a Stanley Cup playoff team, I might not be here. I want to show I can play. I'm just glad I'm here. I'm trying to prove I'm a good player. |
If he wants to do that, good for him. Maybe he should fight some tougher guy next time. I was just trying to hold my guy. We were one goal down. I didn't want to fight. |
They're the No. 1 team in the league, with great players, and we've been struggling. But we hung in there. |
We stayed sharp and focused the whole game. We had a good first game after the (Olympic) break against Nashville at home and then we started slipping. We just said we wanted to stay focused, and that's what we did. |
