They didn't have a whole lot of great scoring chances. It's kind of an easy game. There were a couple of good saves in the third period, but other than that, it was pretty quiet. |
They went to the Stanley Cup Finals two years ago, and I think they are better now. They are very talented. |
Those aren't the hardest saves. We work on breakaways every day in practice. |
We have a very good defense and tonight we played very strong. |
We spent a lot of time together and it was good. That's about the only good thing about being away for so long. |
We've struggled at home, so this was really good for our confidence. |
When you feel good, you make a lot of the saves that went in tonight. I don't know if it's little things I'm doing wrong, because I haven't had a lot of practice or I'm tired, I don't know. Sometimes it happens. Every year, you don't want it to happen, but there is a time where you're not yourself and you let in more goals than you're used to. You have to figure out why, keep working hard and do something about it. |
When you lose the final game, it's not fun to watch another team celebrate. |
Whoever's playing has to play good, I guess. Every time I get a chance to play I have to do my best. That's the only thing I can do and worry about. |
You just want to play well and rebound well after a bad game. Sometimes a team doesn't play that well and a goalie has to step up. If a player makes a mistake, the goalie has to stop (the shot). And it goes the other way around. |
You play so many games, it gets into a routine. You get a couple days off, you get to think about what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong. You kind of think clearly. You get to see the tapes and what really happened. So it kind of helps a lot to see what's going on. |
You want to make those saves when the whole crowd is focused on you. I was happy to make them for the fans. They were excited and I was excited we could get the win that way. |
