chance control focus guys puck stopping trying
I was just trying to focus on the puck and give our guys a chance to win. You have to control the things you can control and for me, that's stopping the puck.
drive learned net puck trying whistle worked
I've done it for awhile, actually I learned it from Dominik ( Hasek ) in Buffalo. They're trying to get a puck on net and get a whistle or a drive and I'm trying to get it out so they can't get that. It worked tonight. Sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it does.
chance focus intense puck team trying worry
I try not to worry about how intense it is out there. I was just trying to focus on the puck and give our team a chance to win.
best felt few high puck react reading square
That's probably the best I felt all year. I was able to react to a few high deflections, which is key. You know you're square to the puck and reading the play well.
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.
aside create effect focus great hopefully personally playoff team
Right now you have to put the satisfaction aside and focus on the playoff race. For me personally it's great, but for the team it's great that we were able to get this win. Hopefully this will create a snowball effect and we can keep on winning.
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.
played tight
We have been tight with our sticks. Tonight, we played like we know we can.
difference played saves
We played pretty well, but their goaltender made some big saves and he was the difference tonight.
played team
We played well as a team and that's all that matters.
break ready
We get a little break here and can be ready for Tuesday's game.
bounce fault guys lucky
Unfortunately, they got a lucky bounce at the end of the game. You can't fault our guys at all.
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.
draining great
This is just great for the team. Emotionally, it was a very draining game.
