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.
They want to see wins and it was a tough night. It's understood you don't want to get booed but they were cheering when I was winning so that's part of being a fan.
It's a chance to give us a bit more breathing room, a chance to play a good team that plays us tough. We're happy to have Alfie back ... we just want to keep playing strong going into the playoffs.
It's a different game being up three goals in the first period. I thought we were flying out there.
With the new rules, it's cool, I get a chance to look up and see if a guy is available for a stretch pass,
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.
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.
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.
I thought we were flying out there. That magic that a lot of these guys have, you could see it ... when we got chances, we buried them.
It great to see the guys come up and fill the spots.
Starting out, you just want to make a good impression and play your best,
