I don't know anything about it. He's a great guy, we were talking to each other a few times, but there are no plans. He wants to come, if I am going to play. He wants to see me.
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 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,
That shutout shouldn't even count. That was the easiest shutout I've ever had. My team played so well defensively in front of me. That was just a great effort. I don't think they got their 11th and 12th shots until the last minute and they were from the blue line.
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.
A shutout like that shouldn't even count. It was a great effort from my team. (Montreal) didn't get anything. The last two shots, the 11th and 12th, they were with one minute left and behind the blue line so what can I say. It was probably the easiest shutout I have had.
He is a great goalie and the Czech Republic will be OK in goal with him.
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.
