fast good hurt playing
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.
against building enjoyed pinpoint playing
I don't know why. I've just always enjoyed playing in this building and playing against them. It's just one of those things. I can't pinpoint it other than I like playing against them.
came games mean penalty playing ran second solid tonight tried trouble
We've been playing solid in games that didn't mean anything and tonight they came after us. We ran into penalty trouble in the second period. After that, we just tried to kill the clock.
few forward game looking playing red siege
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.
anybody city games good hardly playing playoffs remember rink sports television
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.
came chance enjoyed fired forward games home jersey looking missing month opening playing since tough
It was something I was looking forward to for a while, the chance to play at home. It was tough missing opening night, missing so many games with an injury. So now, about a month later, I get to play at home under different circumstances. I enjoyed it. Ever since I came back and put the jersey on, I've been fired up about playing here.
bit continue games heading keeping last maintain playing roll tight
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.
easy family figure house move playing whether
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.
coming good job needs ready role stay
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.
deal decided everybody guy involved supports works
Everybody else was going to make a big deal about it, but we just decided we weren't going to get involved in that. We were just going to play. And whoever's playing, the other guy supports him and works hard. That's the way we approached it.
best plays seen stingy wait
That was the best I've seen him play. When he plays like that, and they play stingy and they're opportunistic and they wait for their best chances, it's frustrating.
came finding game helped road simple successful tried ways win
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.
happen knew sooner
You knew it was going to happen sooner or later.
four good lately needed period played solid third three
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.
