We're going to shadow a line instead of one player.
We're going to have a good competition and that's what you want.
We're going to get through this crisis we have now.
We're going to face one of the top three teams, each first in their division, regardless of where you're at. The odds are if we finish sixth, the Rangers will be our first opponent, so that would be pretty exciting. Knowing what the other teams are, Ottawa and Carolina, I don't think there's one you want to pick over the other.
We got used to not having him around. We really have a sense of what it's going to be like without Scott Stevens. At the same time we're going to have to learn about life without Scott Niedermayer, too. It's two tough blows to take if Scott (Stevens) doesn't come back.
We're just worried about what we do on the ice. Whoever runs the ship will surely be a good fit for us.
We have no excuse to not get back to where we were at or even better. I think the competition will be greater from now on because of the stretch drive. Some teams are going to try to secure playoff spots. Some teams are going to try to get back in the mix. Some teams, like us, are trying to stay alive and move up with the big guys.
When he got the puck there I was thinking about the Olympics against Corey Hirsch. That was a big goal for him.
When he got the pass, he kind of looked right away to see if somebody was open. He never looked at me until he shot the puck. I felt like I was in good enough position to be able to turn my body just a little bit to react to a pass and he just snuck it right through me.
We'll see what the next couple of days bring and how sore it is. I just twisted it. My leg was under me and I kind of put my body weight under it and I heard it twist pretty hard.
We didn't play the way we've been playing, but give them credit. They played well. They didn't take bad penalties.
We are definitely expected to win but we had to do it the way we did it. The way we did it was the thing everybody was happy about. It was not just skimming a victory out of a shootout or something like that. This was a good effort and it's been a while since we had one like that.
We definitely have to keep an eye on Crosby a lot more. I thought we just played him like a regular player, and he showed us that we can't allow ourselves to do that. We have to play him tough and try to get him off his game.
We definitely put ourselves in a better spot than before we started, but there's a lot of work to do still.
