He's a good goalie. He's fast and agile. He's just been hurt this season. That set him back from playing in a lot of games.
I was just asking him how he was, and I said I was ready and he didn't have to push it if he was injured, and that was it, really.
He doesn't really talk about his accomplishments too much. He seems to be getting better and better for the playoffs.
He doesn't really talk about his accomplishments too much. Half the time when he does accomplish something, nobody even knows it's coming up because he doesn't say anything or nobody else says anything. He has more goals than Mario ... he's been a pillar of strength for our organization.
We played good considering how much we've played so much lately -- three (games) in four (nights). We played solid in the third period and didn't make it more interesting than it needed it to be.
We just came in and tried to play a simple road game and that's what's helped us be successful on the road this year. We're doing the little things right and finding ways to win games.
You knew it was going to happen sooner or later.
He's quiet, he doesn't reveal if he's nervous. He just goes and plays. If he plays the same way he has in the regular season, he'll be fine. I think your game goes up to the next level with the atmosphere. With the situation he's going to be in, his game will go up naturally.
I used everything as a positive to make me a better person and a better player. I have no regrets. Everytime I had to play a big game, I played a big game. I used some of the skepticism as a positive and motivation.
I don't doubt myself ever, but people that don't know me do. I've been playing for 15 years, and have the most playoffs wins in Wings history for a reason, and not because I'm a bad goalie.
I don't look forward to the day because I don't like to see guys get traded that I like, or other guys. I didn't want to get traded from the Islanders but then when I did, reality set in that I'd been traded. It's a wild day. It's a crazy day.
I've told you guys before, goalies don't think.
The mark of a good team is how it reacts when things aren't going in its favor.
I'm feeling good. I've felt pretty good for a while now. I just want to help this team win in whatever way necessary.
