I just kept sliding back into the net. You squeeze your knees to try and stop and brace yourself. It's frustrating.
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.
It was a big game for him. It was no big deal for us, but for him it was. Maybe for him it's good to get it behind him.
It's the job of the backup goalie to be ready to play.
It just kind of worked out that over the course of the past three years, I played a couple of games here and there and I had a great team in front of me all the time so I reeled off nine kind of without recognizing it until the end of it,
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.
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 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.
Everything is going to be fine. I was just a little sore.
