bit good lucky obviously save
Obviously when you get a shutout you did something good and the desperation save at the end was a little bit lucky but it was very important too.
almost bit block guts guys hit lucky puck stayed stopped
We showed a lot of guts and made some desperation plays, we had guys going down to block shots, it was crazy. I stopped the puck with my stick, then it almost hit me and went in, but it stayed out. I was a bit lucky too, I have to admit, but I'll take it.
bit chance figured gave lift lifted pad plenty
He had plenty of time, and I had my pad down. I figured he would try to lift the puck, so I just lifted my pad a little bit. I was a little bit lucky, but it gave us a chance to win.
huge points
It was a huge two points for us before the break.
ended liked
Even if it deflected, I would have liked to get it. I'll have to look at it (on replays), but I'm disappointed that it ended like that.
front physical playing success team
The team is playing real well in front of me. It was our physical play and the PK (penalty kill) was the success tonight. It was a team win.
expect game halfway lost played third
We played very good, and when you are up 1-0 halfway through the third period, you expect to get something out of it. That is the way it is, we lost the game and that's that.
help matter step team
That's what I'm here for. We have two goalies and when needed, we've got to step up and do the job. The matter is to help the team right now, that's what we need.
direct opponent playoffs second slip spot tough
That's a tough loss. They're a direct opponent for a spot in the playoffs and we let that one slip away in the second period.
best guess playing
I was playing my best in the overtime. I guess I wasn't that tired.
against chance compete letting mentally physically ready team third
You just want to give your team a chance by not letting in the third one. But I think the whole game, we were very ready mentally and physically to compete against them.
believe believing great jump period played second start tiring
We need more jump and start believing we can do it. They played a great second period and it was very tiring for us.
help matter step team
We have two goalies, and when needed, we've got to step up and do the job. The matter is to help the team right now.
great period played simple
We had a great first period and after that we played a great, simple game.
