course face minute remaining start thinking
Of course with a minute remaining you're going to have to start thinking about it but I'm lucky, I didn't face him.
behind bury chance clear ended front looked turned zone
We had a chance to clear the zone and we didn't do it, and then it ended up going behind the net, and I turned one way and I looked in front and Ian was there to bury it five-hole.
against both great lead shot special teams tight tonight unit
Both teams play well when we play against each other. Tonight again, it was up to our special teams. Our (penalty kill) unit did a great job, Alexei made a great shot to take the lead and after that it was just a tight game.
great period played simple
We had a great first period and after that we played a great, simple game.
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.
good key rest shut
I think that was the key tonight, the 5-on-3, because we shut them down pretty good the rest of the game.
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.
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.
bother mean push scare trying
I think they're trying to bother me and that must mean we scare them in some way. I think they're trying little things like that to get us out of our game. When they try to push things to the limit, I think we have to take that as a compliment.
across pass saw shut tried watching
I saw the shots, but we shut them down. We tried to play on (Jaromir) Jagr and we were watching the pass across ice.
change difference game great kept played second
Roberto played great and kept them in the game during the first and second periods. The difference was Kovalev. He can change a game like that with his skill.
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.
