As an athlete, you have confidence in yourself all the time. I didn't really realize I was going to play this long.
The boys actually got a bit more talkative between the second and third. It was pretty quiet at the start and then the guys started saying, 'We've got to do this,' and, 'We've got to start playing with a bit more desperation.' It was exciting to see it because we talked about it and we actually went out and did it.
Ten days on the road is a long time. We wanted to bear down today. It will be nice to get back to our own beds for a few nights.
The second one was on a bad angle and it goes through me. I don't let that in normally, it's a bad goal.
(The shutout) is exciting too because I haven't had one in a long time. We played really well and buried some chances we had and limited their scoring chances. I just want to win games and hopefully I'll get more opportunities to do so.

Sean Burke was a huge idol of mine as a kid, so I was really excited to play against him. I'm excited every time I get a chance to play right now. It's a new experience for me.
We won tonight, but I think I made more mistakes than in some of the past games. I felt a bit better and felt more comfortable seeing game-type plays. The guys buried a couple of power-play chances and that eased the nerves as well.
We won tonight but I made more mistakes than I did in some of the past games. When you lose as a goaltender you're definitely under a magnifying glass. Just to get a win maybe put that whole (slump) behind me.
It's exciting. More importantly the team is doing well and hopefully I've done enough to stick around and can fill the void when Dominik (Hasek) can't play.
It sure will be nice to get back to our own beds for a few nights.
They have a skilled team, so for them to get only 17 shots, that means we did a good job defensively. We limited their chances and we definitely got ours.
They got a good team. We got ahead with our special teams at the start of the game and from then on it was a battle both ways.
It's a different game being up three goals in the first period. I thought we were flying out there.
