We gave up a two goal lead so we were lucky to tie the game. At least we won the shootout.
My goal is to play again, but if I don't feel like I am helping the team, I won't.
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 tough to say right now long it will take to get better. My goal is to get back but if I don't feel I can play, then I can't play.
It was a good workout for me, ... We scored power-play goals ? that was the big difference in tonight's game. We scored three and they couldn't score on the power play. My teammates cleared the rebounds. I made the first save and the whole game, maybe once or twice, they had a second shot.
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.
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.

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.
He is a great goalie and the Czech Republic will be OK in goal with him.
I'm focused on being ready to play. I cannot say it's going to be in five days, seven days or 10 days. My goal is to be ready as soon as possible.
I don't know if he surprised me. I went to make a butterfly stop and went down. He shot it top shelf and my glove wasn't there. It was a goal scorer's move.

I didn't quite feel comfortable with everything. I wanted to stay out there a little longer and take some shots, but I'm still having a little trouble going up and down. My goal now is to start practicing with the team a little more in the next few days, and hopefully that goes well.
