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.
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.
When he got the puck there I was thinking about the Olympics against Corey Hirsch. That was a big goal for him.
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'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.
He's very feisty on the puck and he's always involved in the play,
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.
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.
