I couldn't believe it took that long. Anytime you can get a lead right off the bat, it's good. It kind of gave everyone a little confidence, especially after the game the other night [against Philadelphia]. |
I knew he was there. It was my fault. |
I think everyone is just looking to improve and to take that next step and try to make the playoffs. That's a good goal for us right now. We have a real young team and everyone is pretty excited to get going. Every team has the goal of reaching the playoffs and we are no different. Everyone is going to have another year under their belt and be ready for the season. Hopefully things will work out for us. |
I'm not putting it in the net, but you hope one day something will go in. Get that off your back. |
I've got to know better. In situations like that, you have to be extra careful. ... The bottom line is we had chances to put them away earlier and didn't. |
In the last couple of days you started to wonder what was going on and maybe you had the opportunity. It's just been one of those things: If you get to go that's great, but I wasn't going to worry about it too much. |
It's frustrating. We can't seem to get over the hump in shootouts. But we had chances earlier to score some goals and didn't. That's the way the season has been going. |
It's frustrating. We've got to smarten up a bit. That's all we've got to do. |
It's good to get the monkey off your back. Hopefully, there's more out there. I was in the right spot at the right time. |
It's very exciting. First off, you didn't really think you'd have the opportunity. Then, to realize you're going to get to go, it's a pretty big honor. |
It's very frustrating, because we always put ourselves in this position. We need to try and learn from it. We need a quick turnaround and just get better. |
To just realize you're going to get to go is something I'm pretty excited about. |
We had a great group of guys, and it was a lot of fun going over there. And to win, there is nothing better than that. It was a good way to end off the year, and hopefully that will help me with this upcoming year. Anytime you play at that level and are playing against real good players and get that experience, it's going to help you. Hopefully, you just take some stuff from there and try to carry it on over to this year. |
We're on a pretty good run. And we've beaten some pretty good teams. |
You can't worry about it. I'm getting some chances. It would be definitely nice (to score). |
