They have a little chip on their shoulder now. |
They said they wanted to make sure I was going to be at training camp this year. If they want to make sure I'll be in training camp this year, I'll be there, but I don't know what's going to happen with training camps in the future. |
They were throwing everything at the net and I got lucky a couple of times. I was getting a little tired but I was confident I could protect the lead. We're playing them two more times but this first one is done. |
They were throwing everything at the net and trying to crash the net. I got lucky a couple of times, made a couple of good saves and that was it. |
This is a great chance for me to step away from the rink and get to know some of our loyal Panthers fans, ... And for them to get to know me. |
This is the way we went to keep playing. We want to keep getting the key goals and put the points on the board. That's how we're going to make the playoffs. |
To go 9-for-9 in my career, there has to be a little luck involved. So I can thank the Lord when I make the save. I know (Kovalev) has great hands, so I just wanted to be as patient as possible on him and wait until the last second to make a play. |
We battled hard at the end; it showed character. We were fortunate to get two points tonight. |
We didn't have a whole lot of hope left, but there was still a little bit. Obviously, after tonight it would take a major miracle, so there's nothing we can do about it but keep fighting and play hard the rest of the year. |
We got a lot of veteran help, ... So it's going to be huge for us. |
We had some breakdowns. It was a tough game to be a part of. |
We had some mental mistakes, myself included. |
We had three of our best players not even on the ice. It was a good, complete effort. I think they realize we're not a team that's going to be easily beat. We're going to put up a fight every night. It's going to be a race for the division. |
We have six games left, so there's no reason why guys shouldn't play as hard as we have in the past few weeks. |
We need two points at this point of the year. One point is not going to cut it anymore. |
