We're playing tight defensively right now and that's what we want to maintain over the last little bit of games here. We want to continue keeping things simple, playing hard, and get on a roll heading into the playoffs.
I just tweaked it. I don't want to hurt it any worse and be out longer. It's not that bad. I just don't want to hurt it any worse and miss the rest of the playoffs.
I just have to figure it out. I've never done it before. I look forward to getting back in there. I'm just trying to play good in practice, that's all I can do really, just get ready for the next time I play.
I had to figure what was I going to do with my house in Long Island, how I was going to move everything, whether my family was going to come to St. Louis, and where I was going to stay. It was crazy. Playing is the easy part.
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.
I hope (the pain) is gone after the Olympic break.
