Anytime you have a guy like Mike go down, everybody is nervous. You're concerned about him as a friend and a teammate. He's been such a huge part of this team. We want him healthy. |
Biron played great. He was rock solid. |
He can move the puck and make a spectacular play from a phone booth. And if there's more room out there than that, like there is with these new rules, he's even more dangerous. That's especially true on the power play. |
He could have sat back there and played it safe and waited and got ready for the puck. It's a play that needed to be made and he made it. That's a big lift for everybody. |
He played well, no question. We didn't expect the guy to come in and play that well. They've had a ton of great players over the years, and he certainly played well. We'll be aware of him. |
He's a good goalie. He's athletic, he has good reflexes and he's a competitor as well. He battles hard. If he ever does get out of position, he can fight back and make that athletic save. He's a great goalie, and we're going to have our hands full. |
He's been our best player, no doubt about it. We wouldn't even be here without him. It was just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. |
I think we were better start to finish. It's a building block. |
It is frustrating but it's also playoff hockey. |
It wasn't a good feeling for anybody. As a friend and teammate, you want him to be OK and healthy and in the lineup. Who knows what's going to happen? But obviously he's a huge part of our team, he's our leader, and we want him in there. |
It won't ever be 100 percent, but it's the middle of the season and I need to play. I'm ready to go and glad to be out there helping the team. |
That's not Stars hockey. We need to regroup and cut out the mental mistakes. |
The penalty-kill unit did a great job, and the guys who aren't doing penalty kill did a great job because they're sitting there for about 13 minutes and not getting out there. When we did get back to 5-on-5, we did play well. That's huge, to have effort like that all the way through. |
There's mental mistakes that result in turnovers. The next thing is a penalty, and then away we go, and then we're chasing. |
Those two guys are such good players. Playing on a line with them, the big thing is to stay out of their way and let them do their thing. |
