That's just the way shootouts are. It's kind of hard to get used to shootouts right now. We aren't practicing them because we are playing nearly every day. It's tough to get used to breakaways when you don't practice against them. |
That's my job to stop the puck and that's all there is to it. (The Flames) made it hard on me. Whatever comes at you, you've got to try and deal with and do the best you can. |
There's no way of knowing before you get there. Everything else would be just words and not really based on any evidence. We'll all find out. |
There's such a big difference between third and fourth. It's satisfying to come up with a medal. |
They said it's perfectly curable and I should be fine in six months. It's tough timing for the playoffs for me. But that's something you don't worry about when you think about your health. |
They say the worst lead in hockey is a two-goal lead going into the third period. You can't sit back and let them keep coming at you. I thought we did a good job of skating and continuing to play in that third period. |
Things went their way. I think they scored on every chance they had. |
Twenty-two shots is usually the whole game total for us. So for us to do that in one period was great. There's no substitute for hard work and that's what we were doing out there. |
We are not playing good. But it is a long season and there are always ups and downs. |
We didn't cover the slot. A lot of goals were off of rebounds or passes in front of the net. We have been on the fortunate side a few times this season, but you can't think any game is going to be an easy game. |
We gave them too many chances. Power play, 5-on-3, 4-on-3, you name it. Playing back-to-back, we were tired in the third period. They took advantage. |
We had been scoring a lot of goals and maybe we felt like we just couldn't lose. We started playing loose, but now we're not scoring four or five goals a game per night. And in this NHL, you're not going to win many goals scoring two goals a night. |
We had crucial breakdowns against a good team and that is not going to work. It's hard to win when you are making mistakes. Sometimes you can get away with mistakes, but we're struggling right now. |
We have a good team. This can all be forgotten soon. |
We have as good a chance as everybody, and I really believe that ... This team can go all the way, |
