As you saw against Edmonton, we can play against anybody when we're playing our system and everybody's ready. If we can be consistent in that and get some breaks, we can win some games. |
I felt pretty good. We are trying to be smart and use shorter shifts. I think that was working out there. |
I had a break on him and I got it. Manny has been Mr. Consistent all year. He has made some unbelievable saves this year and he showed it again in the shootout. |
I had to be patient, because I didn't really have my legs out there for most of the game. I was lucky to get the puck where I could do something with it. |
I think he's the best goalie in the NHL. He made a lot of terrific saves and he was the key to the win. |
I was skating for 10 days, so I felt good out there. The biggest thing is we won the game. |
I was used to not having to check the defensive zone. I had to learn to adjust to it, otherwise I was going to be in the minors. |
I'll take it day-by-day. I'm excited to play, obviously, but they don't want to rush it and I don't want to rush it. |
I'm honored and I'm happy ... it's cool. |
It cost us the game, basically. |
It gives you a boost of confidence to get that goal. |
It was a very big win. We battled toward the end, got some breaks and scored some goals. |
Obviously it was a good buy. Very good buy. |
On a goal like that, they should take a look at it even more precisely. If they hadn't got that goal it would have been a whole different game. |
Once they scored that second and third goal we kind of stopped playing. We just can't do that. |
