It's definitely nice to see two of my teammates along with me in the starting lineup, ... It's something we're really excited about. ... When you see three guys on the same team at the All-Star game, it's pretty amazing.
It's definitely a great situation. We have to be happy about what's going on right now. We made our chance. ... All year we've been below everybody and now at the end it makes you feel pretty good to go through such a tough year and even have a chance to do it.
It's definitely a great day for Devils' fans and the organization and Scotty being the first and building some history with the organization. It's well deserved. Seeing what the Rangers are doing all the time, when you look at what our captain did, it's a little more impressive as far as numbers with winning three Stanley Cups and getting to the Finals four times.
It's amazing. Just take the new year. We were able to get 18 points in 21 days. That's unbelievable. I'm just really excited about it, just to get back in the thick of things and put some teams behind us. We've just got to try to push that envelope forward.
It's amazing. We went about our business and did our things and you create these opportunities. Now, we're sitting here and it actually looks pretty good.
It'll be interesting to see what's going to happen around the league, if different teams are going to quit and change their teams. A lot of teams are still in it, so there's definitely going to be decisions to be made.
It was an okay game. I know in (this round) people expect us to walk through everybody, and I guess we did to a certain extent in the second period, but we had a pretty good vibe, did well on the power-play.
It was nice to have home ice advantage against these guys and we took advantage of it. The guys played well offensively, we buried some great opportunities and special teams again was a big factor. We put ourselves in a great position but we've got to make the best out of it.
So, don't count anything out. You never know what's going to happen.
That's a pretty great accomplishment, I'm pretty excited about it. Now I've got three more guys in front me. Definitely, it's a goal of mine to try to get as high as I possibly can. Being in New Jersey helps me a great deal.
It went our way for three games. It could go the other way for three games, also.
We are trying to get better every game. We took a step by winning an important game against a big rival.
To me, he was always a safety valve, knowing that I had one of the best competitors in the game in front of me. To be the captain of three Stanley Cup teams, you don't do that by chance. It's because you've done something great in your career.
To me, he's one of the top goaltenders in the league and he's a big reason why the Predators are in the situation they are right now. He beat me at the World Championship, and even though there wasn't as much talent there as there will be at the Olympics, he's brought his game to the level of guys that have been around the league for a long time.
