Obviously, with the amount of ice time I was getting, the situation with our team, it wasn't a shocker. I've been around long enough to realize the situation I was in. |
Obviously, you dream about this day. You don't know how you are going to feel. I feel excitement more than anything else, I feel excitement for what has happened to our club. |
Our special teams have been [bad] to say the least. Our penalty kill has not been going very well [nine power-play goals allowed in four losses] and we have not been getting that big power-play goal when we need it. When we were on that [10-1-1] streak the power play was going. We need to get back to that. |
They always say they're going to cut back my ice time. Well, I don't want them to do that. I want to force them to play me. |
We discussed that already. We're obviously going to go out on good terms. I want to be a part of the organization in some capacity. Hopefully, when the dust settles here we can talk about those things. |
We got some shots on goal, not a lot of quality chances. It's one of those games where the team hangs in there. Their goaltender gives them a chance to win the game. |
We have to rally together. We can't feel sorry for ourselves because of the situation we're in. There's no finger pointing. It's all of us together. |
We just needed to find a way to win. Our (confidence) was a little shaky. Three weeks ago we were on a pretty good streak and things just don't change overnight. ... It comes down to believing in each other and finding a way to win. |
