Our problem is that if we don't score five or six goals, we lose the game. We have to find a way to win these games. I think they worked a little bit harder than we did. It's very important to find a way to win the close games. In the playoffs, that's what it's going to be.
I think that with the way we played the first 40 minutes we should be happy to have one point. Anaheim played really well the whole 60 minutes. We were lucky to come back.
I will be a little nervous before the game, ... It's my first time playing in Ottawa and I'm excited about it.
I went to make a butterfly and went down. He shot it top shelf, and my glove wasn't there. It was a goal scorer's move.
I think I'm embarrassed to get a shutout like that.
I think he played really well in the first round. I know he's a very talented goalie and he can do the job for us, definitely.
I'm still focused, I'm concentrating on what I am doing. I want to be back this month, definitely. I want to be on the ice and play some games before the playoffs start so I'll be ready for the playoffs. That's my goal.
We were very focused, very concentrated before the game and you could see it on the ice. Today was one of the best games we played this year.
We played a really strong defensive game. The 5-on-3s were the key. We killed them off and that was important for our success.
We have a lot of confidence on this team. We know we have skill players who can score the goals.
We know that the Flyers always come out hard in this building. We made too many mistakes.
We gave up a two goal lead so we were lucky to tie the game. At least we won the shootout.
To go up two goals in the third period doesn't mean your going to win the game. Two years ago maybe, but not with the new rules.
