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.
People like the glamour and the glamour with Scotty is his hits. That's what they remember. They don't want to talk about him taking the puck away from Jaromir Jagr with one hand or anything like that.
I don't think you can call that a move. It's going to the net and letting the puck go. I don't think he touches the puck the whole way. I think it psyches the goalie out a little bit not knowing what he's going to do and not doing anything. He beat me with it a few times. It must work.
When he got the puck there I was thinking about the Olympics against Corey Hirsch. That was a big goal for him.
He's very feisty on the puck and he's always involved in the play,
I'll find ways to be able to play with the puck and do something with it without hurting it when I have my glove on. I got a good taping job.
It was kind of a fluke goal on Satan, losing the puck like that. It confused him and confused me a lot.
You can't be happy, taking away something I've worked on all my life to do and help my teammates and help my defense, ... It's just part of me, playing the puck. So, definitely, you can't be happy.
Goalies often react quickly to shots with no regard for what might happen to their body because we are trained to stop pucks first and ask questions later.
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.
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.
