He is a great goalie and the Czech Republic will be OK in goal with him.
He was a classy guy and it was always fun to be around him. He was saying whatever he felt, he didn't care. I can say he had the best wrist shot I ever played against. No doubt about it. His wrist shot was unbelievable.
He didn't tell me if I'd be the starting goalie or the backup goalie or what his plans are.
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.
When I saw him in training camp, he didn't look like a special player,
We gave up a two goal lead so we were lucky to tie the game. At least we won the shootout.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I consulted with the doctors but unfortunately, it isn't good, I can't play for the rest of the tournament.
