behind felt goal good great performance zone
I don't know how great (my performance) was. I felt like I was in the zone but you never feel good when you give up one more goal than the other team. We just got to put it behind us.
expect mean
I didn't expect it. It does mean a lot to me to play.
realistic work
I have to work hard, obviously. If you're realistic and you look at the big picture, that is it. It's nothing derogatory.
gone
I'm a better goalie now from having gone through everything in 2004.
battle great pulled
I never like being pulled out. It was the right decision. I know it's part of the game. You want to be there when things are great and when things are bad, I want to battle it out.
bet lucky rack stick three walked
I'll bet if you walked over to that stick rack you'd be lucky to find three (illegal sticks).
capable handling team thrown whatever
I like to think our team is capable of handling whatever is thrown at us.
corrected emotional
I'm an emotional guy, but I think for the most part, I've really corrected that this season. When I'm on the ice, I have to look like the calmest guy. That's how you show leadership.
best focused hockey prepare worried
I'm not really worried about that. I'm worried about myself and the best way to prepare for hockey games, and that's all I'm focused on.
bottom buddies details explain good great honest side stuff sure
I'm good buddies with him. He's a great man. I like him a lot. Stuff will come out. I don't know any of the details on it. But I do know that he's a good man. . . . He's a very honest guy. He'll explain his side of it and I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of it.
fire worked
I just wanted to fire them up and it worked for about 10 minutes.
adding agents excited fans free good great job keeping needed
(Clarke) did a great job of keeping the free agents they needed to and adding the right ones. I think we're going to be a really good team, and I'm just as excited as the fans are to get back on the ice.
fact felt good losing puck saves upset
I?m pretty upset at the fact that we lost. I don?t like losing two in a row, but sometimes that comes with the territory. I felt really good today. I thought I made some big saves and smothered the puck really well.
felt groove happens
That happens sometimes. You get in a groove. I was in a groove and felt really good.
