We got back to the old Devils that everyone wanted to change in hockey. People said they didn't want these types of games anymore. Now we are doing it again, and I'm just hopeful we'll do it again when it counts.
We got back to the old Devils that everyone wanted to change in hockey.
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.
I don't know what's going to happen. It's just a tough situation. It makes it hard to avoid the question for two weeks. It's tough for everybody. For us, what's done is done. You can't change it. It's just the way you react to it, the way you handle it that is going to make the difference. It's definitely something we wish we could avoid.
It's not hard to get up for, that's for sure. Times have changed a lot. Our fans were going to New York and it's not as scary as it used to be. But it will be a great battle. Two good teams are going at it.
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.
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.
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.
We are trying to get better every game. We took a step by winning an important game against a big rival.
The rules are there and there is a lot more flow to the game. If we are able to play this way and not take a lot of penalties, you'll see this more and more from our team. It's not just me. All the guys are excited that we are able to shut down good teams.
I've played enough in the NHL to know most of these guys. Most of the time I know their tendencies. I've been lucky. I've been fortunate to make some saves and help us win some games.
It was tough to get going right away and I think you saw that. It (the Italian goal) was good for the fans and they got excited. But we knew it was just a matter of time before we would score.
These were big games for us. It's nice to see us dominate them.
These nights are going to happen. It's definitely disappointing to do that against a team like that, but that's the way it is.
