I don't know if we had high hopes for tonight or not but we wanted to win. I don't want to take anything away from them. They played really well and finished us off at the end.
I didn't think I was going to play the whole month. The team's been playing well and I haven't looked too far ahead. We're still battling, but I'm definitely pleased with that month.
I didn't even know about it. I'm sure he didn't play as many games as we did this month (16), but Bernie Parent ... that's pretty cool.
I'll take the good bounces for sure. Luck was on our side, definitely.
I just want to play as well as I can each and every night and take it one step at a time. I haven't gotten ahead of myself, I just want to look forward to the next game and let Dom's situation and the rest take care of itself.
I had three weeks to prepare for one game. You'd like to think when you have the opportunity to prepare for three weeks, I could go out and make some big saves. The other guy outplayed me. I feel accountable to the other guys. We're fighting for first place. It's disappointing.
I'm assuming they haven't played every period like that this year. They were flying. They definitely sent a message.
I?m assuming that they haven?t played every period like that this year or they probably would be undefeated. They definitely sent a message.
I'm as competitive as they come. I was well aware that the Big Guy (Dominik Hasek) was 3-0 and I wanted to do my part, too.
I just wanted to play well, I don't worry about what other people say. I didn't make any big saves. I just tried to stay in the middle of the net and let my big body stop the puck.
Being a young guy, I'm just going in there and want to make the simple saves and play solid in there. With the team we got here, I think we stand a good chance.
By their reaction and the referee calling it right away, I thought it was in. I'll take it. It's a good bounce, for sure. Luck was on our side tonight.
I'm not a guy that looks at the big picture that often. If I start thinking about it, this could be an awesome opportunity for me. But I think it's a lot better for me and the team if I look at it one game at a time. There are a lot of things you can't control.
I like playing here, and, yeah, I realize an organization can only hold stock in you for so long. I hope I've given myself a shot at a longer stay because of the recent span, but the year's not over yet . . . It's nice to have people say (nice things about you), but I still have to go out and play well until Dominik gets back. I don't want to get ahead of myself.
