christmas good played since struggling win
We've been struggling since Christmas. We played a good game, but unfortunately it wasn't enough for us to win it.
good lost team
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.
bit course few good lose penalty season shot win
I don't know who scored on the first penalty shot but I know Kovalev a little bit and I know he has everything, a good shot and he can deke. Like I said before the season, during the season you win a few shootouts, you lose a few shootouts. Of course it's disappointing. There's nothing I can do. It's over, they scored a few goals.
excited felt good guys mario
I felt pretty good for the first time, but they didn't have their guys like Mario (Lemieux) and (John) LeClair in the lineup. So I'm not too excited about it,
cleared difference goals good maybe power save score second teammates three workout
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.
biggest defensive five front good hard improvement job people power seen work
The biggest improvement I think is that we work hard as a team. You need five people on the ice. From a defensive point, they did a really good job in front of me. They scored only two power play goals. So defensively, I have seen a big improvement.
cannot certain equipment few full good reason three wait weeks whenever
It's good to be back on the ice, but there was still many things I don't feel I'm able to do, so there was no reason to go with full equipment (yesterday). I can feel there is some improvement. I feel stronger. There are certain things I couldn't do two or three weeks ago I can do now. But there are still a few things I cannot do on the ice. I have to wait a few more days, or a week or whenever I can do it.
buffalo eddie good luck mike proved starting tough traded
It was a tough time. Eddie was the starter, I was the backup. Fortunately, Mike traded me to Buffalo and it was good luck for me. Finally, I proved to myself I could be a starting goalie.
defensive definitely good played stronger
We definitely played a much stronger game. From the defensive point, we did a good job. They only scored two goals.
best excited face few fun good mario overall start sure
I had fun after I made a few saves, ... They were without a lot of their big guns. I didn't face the best shooters, so I'm not too excited about it. I'm sure it will be different with Mario (Lemieux) and (Sidney) Crosby in their lineup. Overall it was a good start for me.
came crazy fun good twice won
I'm not crazy about shootouts but it's always fun when you win. We came back twice and won in a shootout. It's a good feeling.
half signed
I signed his half and he signed mine. I still have my half.
bit building excited
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
almost asked gets harder hope improvement last next optimistic seems start week
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.
