I think it's going to be a great possibility. But I don't think it's going to change our approach to the game one way or the other.
I don't think our approach will change that much because we're up 3-nothing. We just don't want to give them life. We are definitely scared of that hockey club.
He is a tremendous hockey player so you've got to know if he is going to play or not. Regardless of him being there 100 percent or not there, it doesn't change the approach of our game.
When you have a guy everyone expects to produce you just wait for him to explode. We can't forget about him.
We don't always do it. When we make a big point of doing it, the success always comes.
We're not kids. At least we're informed of the possibilities.
We just have to move on and try to get better.
We didn't give them our best game, that's for sure. We turned the puck over, made a lot of mistakes. (But) Rick played tremendous. He made the saves when he needed too.
The progress that I've made in two days has been tremendous, ... I think one week at the most and I'll be ready to go.
This was huge, especially against a team like that. Hopefully, we'll build some confidence and get some momentum going forward.
You have to manage your ups and downs in a series to be successful. We've been able to pull through in situations where our backs were against the wall a little bit, but we took advantage of some lucky breaks. That's the way games go, if you work hard good things will happen.
We are trying to get better every game. We took a step by winning an important game against a big rival.
Everything was chaotic. A lot of things were up in the air. There were a lot of rumors here and there. It kind of took two or three weeks to settle our heads, and when the New Year turned, that's when this team turned around and made it happen to make the playoffs.
You can't be happy about losing a game. You have to look at the bright side. We competed well against a team that we can afford to give two points to and we took one away from them.
