Experience is big, it really is big. You understand the significance of not only every game, but every shift. You've been there and seen it. |
Five-on-five is just as tough - there's no question in my mind that it's all the power play. It's such a fast game, it's easy to get caught out of position. There's still a good chance you're going to have to take a lot of these penalties. |
He does change the outcome of any shift. Knowing he's out there really makes teams change their game. |
He's a great goalie. I played with him in Anaheim and I have nothing but good things to say about him. By no means does it surprise me. |
He's one of the best players in the world. I don't care what team it is in the league, you lose a guy like that it's going to be difficult. |
I came off the bench with a little bit of a late change. It was a fortunate bounce but if I wasn't coming off the bench I probably would've been a lot lower. |
I don't feel I've done much of anything through this point of the year. |
I don't know what more motivation there is than to be on the brink of elimination and playing before fans that have been great for you all year. Ultimately, we're playing for each other in this room. But without a doubt, there isn't a guy in here that doesn't want to go out and play well and win in front of our fans. I mean, they've been unbelievable for us all year long. |
I don't think it took a goalie change to do anything. After the second period, things were going good. It was just a matter of time. It was just the team's work ethic. And Jaromir Jagr stepped up for us. |
I don't think it was so much what they did better (than Saturday night) as what we didn't do very well. It was just a bad game by us on all counts. It was the poorest of the year by far. |
I don't think there's any bigger goal than that one right there, up to this point. It was another highlight reel by our best player. And it just kind of shows the kind of character he has to just take charge like that. |
I hope we can ride some of the emotion [from the Islanders game]. |
I skated with him for a bit. What I've seen this summer, he's ready to go. He's just as excited as anybody else. I think there's no question, he's still a go-to guy and I think that was a great signing by Nashville. |
I think it was the right call. |
I think that's up to the medical staff. But I don't think that can be a bad thing. |
