I wasn't going to pass up a shot that late in a game. I wanted to make sure I gave it my best shot. It was nice to win it.
Marc-Andre has saved us a lot this year and he did it again.
I was trying to be him when I was 10 years old. So now, with passing him, it's pretty special.
I was too close, so I tried to back off and whack it. I didn't get it.
I think I did all right but I want to improve. I don't think I'm happy with being average in that department and I want to make sure I compete with those guys. It was 50-50, I lost some battles.
You just get caught up in the game, ... You want to win, so you have to communicate, let guys know what you're thinking. And they have to let you know what they're thinking.
Who better to mould him than the greatest player ever.
We're all playing within our role and not worrying about results. When we do that everything seems to click, and that's been a big factor in us winning games.
We played a strong game. We're all competing and battling for each other. We're just not getting too many breaks, but for us, we just have to continue to do this. We have to stay with it. Every guy is battling in here and that's huge. Everyone is going the same way and eventually it's going to turn around.
I think just being around him is going to help me,
I thought of passing it for a second.
I'm still trying to develop consistency, ... You have to think faster up here. The reaction time is fast. You have to think quick, or else you're not going to make a lot happen.
We haven't gotten results, but the effort and the want are there. With that, you're going to get results. It's a matter of time.
He's a good goalie and made a great save.
