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'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.
Finally we won a close game, it's a great feeling. However, it was frustrating because we gave up two goals sort of on two lucky bounces and then all of a sudden the game was so close.
It's frustrating. We gave up 10 goals in the last two games and we've scored only three. I don't know what is the reason, but we better figure it out as soon as possible because we have a game tomorrow.
It's definitely a great feeling to win the game and to win in the shootout. You get the extra one point which is great, but I would rather win the game in 60 minutes or in the regular overtime,
They didn't give us anything. Even in the third period we had maybe one or two chances. They played a great defensive game. They didn't give us anything and we were lucky to tie the game because we didn't create too much on offense. They played a great game for 60 or 65 minutes.
But I know that this is a long season and you've got to play 82 games to get to the playoffs. We're not always going to win and we're going to go through parts of the schedule where things aren't going well. I don't really want to think too much about where I'm at right now. We will see where everything is at after 20 or 30 games.
So far, so good. Six games and 12 points. That's exactly what you want,
I don't know if we've deserved to win every game but we've always found a way to win and that's what's important.
We've been struggling since Christmas. We played a good game, but unfortunately it wasn't enough for us to win it.
We just lost one game, we're not out of play. We have so many good players. I think we've got the team to be successful.
I signed his half and he signed mine. I still have my half.
Probably, I'm a little bit excited and nervous. It's not just another pre-season game, it's the first one in this building for me
At this point, I am not very optimistic that I could start the next series. But who knows. It almost seems like the harder I work, it gets worse. I don't feel an improvement the last week or two. It's very frustrating. But I still try to do what I'm asked to do, and hope it's going to be better.
