It was all Sergei. Instead of throwing it away, he carried it behind the net and bought some time. I was able to get back to the net. Off the initial rush, I kind of swung away and came back and he found me. |
It was kind of a weird game from start to finish. It wasn't as sharp as we have been playing lately, but it's still two points. |
It would be nice to get a win and start rolling and feel good about ourselves. |
It's always good playing here. My brother is here watching the game and some buddies I went to college with were at the game, so it's always nice to catch up with old friends and come back to a place that was real important in my career. |
It's always nice. It's an honor to be considered as one of those guys and be up there on the list with them. Considering how many great guys have come through the organization, it's an honor for sure. |
It's an extra little thing to come back. |
It's definitely a rude awakening. |
It's definitely going to be a playoff atmosphere. |
It's disappointing, obviously, because we came here for the gold medal, a medal. |
It's frustrating because we're playing well, we just need a couple bounces. |
It's nice obviously getting it out of the way. The main thing was getting the two points tonight. That's why I was frustrated about having all those chances. It would have made things a lot easier on us. |
It's nothing I was chasing from the start, but it was an honor to be considered among the great players (in this organization). |
No, not at all. That's where you need to keep your focus. You try not to give them anything to go on. |
Obviously he's a huge part of this team and he's going to add a lot to it, but with or without him, we need to change things and play differently. We're making too many of the same mistakes and that's what hurting us. For a guy to come back and correct all that, that's not going to happen. |
Once we got up early on them with those three goals, we just stuck with what we were doing. |
