We've been struggling since Christmas. We played a good game, but unfortunately it wasn't enough for us to win it.
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.
Every win has a nice felling, and 300 is a nice number, but still far away from (career wins leader) Patrick Roy,
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,
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.

Our problem is that if we don't score five or six goals, we lose the game. We have to find a way to win these games. I think they worked a little bit harder than we did. It's very important to find a way to win the close games. In the playoffs, that's what it's going to be.
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.
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.
I don't think there was any extra motivation, ... It's my first win here, but it's only preseason.
I'm not disappointed about the shutout. I was more focused on the win and putting the 300th win behind me,
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
