Everything was so tight, and nobody wanted to make any mistakes. Everyone was concentrating on defense. Our first goal would be key, and we were lucky to win. |
He has the whole package. He has everything. |
I didn't let him open up. |
I guess they liked something they saw. |
I made a nice move, I think. I was going 5-hole. |
I understand there are people who were here before, like Mario [Lemieux], and he was the quarterback of the power play. We're probably going to use his skills a lot, so I'm probably not going to have the puck as much, but that's OK with me. As long as we're successful. |
I was trying to create offense. It seemed like I caught those guys flat-footed. Maybe it was a long shift for them ... I don't know. I just skated around them, and found the goal. |
I'm happy for him. We've all had a tough season, but, for a goalie, it's probably harder. |
If we can somehow fix this problem, it's going to keep us in the games. The game is going to be closer, and we're going to have a better chance in the third period. It's so hard to come back when you're down two goals, and we put ourselves in the position of having to battle back. It's hard to do. |
In such a short tournament, chemistry is a very important thing, and since Day One, we've been talking about it and working on it. It's worked out well so far. |
It felt like we were really on. |
It seems like since he came into the league he's been able to do anything he wanted. |
It's one of our best games. |
Maybe we just didn't shoot enough in previous games on the power play. But with a guy like John LeClair in front of the net, he's a great guy to have there when you shoot, so we have to use him. |
No, I've never been in a case like this. There are a lot of things going on right now, everything up in the air. As a hockey player, you just have to concentrate on your job. Obviously, we'd love to stay in Pittsburgh because of the great fan support here, but it's not up to us. |
