thinking years guy
With the year off, I think most guys were excited to get going, but coming to Ottawa, a new place, made me even more excited.
old-school guy trying
I'm an old-school guy. I don't try to be too flashy.
bit coming guys ice played respect road room seemed tired
You have to respect those guys when they are on the ice and not give them too much room and we did that well tonight. They seemed a little bit tired coming off a big road trip, but we played well.
against career fun guy level shooting sure tough
You look at his career and what he's done, it's pretty unbelievable. Shooting against him every day has been a lot of fun for me, and he's going to be tough over there. I think he's a guy who can take it to another level, and I'm sure he'll be at that level in the Olympics.
came camp definitely guys prove reason training
I think we all want to prove something. We came here for one reason in training camp and the guys who have been here for a while and have not done what they wanted to do, definitely want to prove that we can (win).
bad bunch caught enjoy great guys happen league people wants
It caught a lot of people off guard. No one wants anything bad to happen to the league, because we have a great league with a great bunch of guys who enjoy the game. But it's damaging, obviously.
chances fan guys might puck whoever
I'm a big fan of it. It might not be fair, but whoever is in the shootout are guys who can put the puck in the net, so chances are if there was a big goal, one of them might get it anyway.
deal guys strange win
I can't think about it too much. It's going to be a little strange to see some of the guys I used to play with. I'm going to go in there, deal with it and try to win the game. That's about all I can do.
arms exact good knew reaching report scouting sneak tough
We knew the scouting report on him and I did the exact same thing that they told us not to do. It's tough to get it up when you're reaching and you've got your arms extended, but I thought I could still sneak it in and he made a good save.
against points
We're not intimidated by them. We're out to get as many points against them as possible.
country hockey play
Every country gets fired up to play us. They played well. I thought when it was 2-1 that we had some chances to make it 3, 4-1. He made some saves and we just missed some shots. They got a break on their second, and the third period I thought we had a lot of chances, he made some big saves. We got it done in the shootout.
schedules way tough
Everybody is going through the same thing. The way the schedule is, it's tough down the stretch.
thinking too-much behind-you
I wasn't putting too much emphasis on it (the booing). I think that you have to put it behind you.
loss winning games
The first game was different but tonight we were just worried about getting ourselves back on track. It's another loss. We've got to keep going, keep trying to get out of this and win on Saturday.
