All I can do is what's in my control, and that's play my way. That was just, 'Good job, way to get two minutes.' I always expect somebody to come after me. |
I know my role. I'm just trying to keep guys honest. |
I take full responsibility. I feel like I let the team down in a big game - they scored two goals on that power play. The type of player I am, I've got to make sure those things don't happen. |
I thought he was turning up and I caught him halfway through the turn. If I had waited half a second, he's probably completely turned up ice, and then I'd just get him from the side. But it's a game of reaction. It's something I've got to make sure I'm prepared for. I take full responsibility. I feel I let the team down. |
In my mind, both hits were clean. They know how I play. I play a physical style. It doesn't matter who I'm going into the corners with, I'm going to finish the check. Nobody was hurt on the play. |
It doesn't take an edge off. It's just a matter of regrouping and just trying to be more careful. |
You never want to be suspended and you never want anybody to get hurt. But it's part of the game. I definitely don't want to be suspended. He came back out to play so I feel he's all right. The main thing is he's all right and I'm happy for that. |
