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 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 gave up two goals (to Tie Domi and Kyle Wellwood) and I didn't get much in the way of shots. I've got to keep working here to get ready for the season.
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.
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.
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.
