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've been working on things during practice, and it's coming through in the games. I feel pretty good about the job I'm doing and the role I have. I have to stay ready when Manny needs a break.
I felt good from the start. Moving around early helped me.
It's a shame. It's such a good sports city and I remember playing during the playoffs and the rink was really loud. It's a shame, you see games on television now and there's hardly anybody in the stands.
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.
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.
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.
It's something I'd been looking forward to for a long time, playing a game at home. It's a lot better playing in red and white. I've been under siege a few times at the other end.
I hope (the pain) is gone after the Olympic break.
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.
I've got to find the second one. It went through two or three guys, and it just hit me in the side and went in.
It seems as if we don't turn it over as much on the road as we do at home. We're real smart and we keep ourselves in every game.
Tonight wasn't one of our better games, but we managed to find a way.
What I've done in the past doesn't mean anything. I still have something to prove. I want to be here. I want to stay here, and to do that I have to play well.
