block guys starting
I'm starting to get used to it. Starting to see what guys are doing and how they block shots, so I know where to look when they're going to do it.
anybody block fault guys hard hockey lucky shots stick trying win
Unfortunately, it went off a stick and went the other way on me. You can't fault anybody on it. Guys are trying hard to block shots and get in lanes and do the little things that win hockey games. Unfortunately, they get a lucky bounce.
gone playing playoff sign trade
The writing's on the wall. I just feel one of us is going to be gone and it's a sign something's happening. With him winning, we're still in the playoff picture. I guess, that's part of it, too. If he's playing the way he's playing, why trade him?
guys point trying
At that point he was just trying to get the guys going.
fans great
At the end of the day, the fans know that somebody's going to be winning. It's great for the fans, and they were into it tonight.
chance create great guys job played smart tried
We did a great job defensively. We played a smart game. We didn't try to create things that weren't there. I just tried to give our guys a chance to win.
difference played saves
We played pretty well, but their goaltender made some big saves and he was the difference tonight.
break ready
We get a little break here and can be ready for Tuesday's game.
against battle chance gave guys playing seemed solution team
I don't know the team well enough to give you a diagnostic solution to that. We gave up some odd-man rushes, which, from playing against these guys over the years, they never seemed to do. But as a goalie you have to try and battle through those and give your guys a chance to win.
pay rather
If we're going to have to pay escrow, I'd rather know right ahead.
felt rebounds since
I felt all right, (but) it's been a while since I played. I felt shaky, especially on rebounds and scrambles. Those got me.
believe
We've just got to believe in ourselves, and right now I don't think we are.
far likes practice schooled
It's one of those things, he likes to go far side. He schooled me on it. All those years of practice and he got me.
deal game talk whether
It's part of our job, isn't it? You have to deal with it whether it's a game day, or not a game day. You have to talk to the media, and some individuals do it, some don't? I don't know why they don't.
