It's important for me to move on. I try to go out and give myself an opportunity to play there and if not, I'm not second-guessing any guy there because they all deserve to be there. It's tough because I thought I had a chance, but it's not tough because I think I should replace someone else, it's not like that at all.
It was a tough break for us but I don't know if we deserved to win the game anyway. We didn't play that well.
It was a tough break for us, but I don't know if we deserved to win that one anyway. Jocelyn kept us in it. It's good to get one point out of it but at the same time I don't think we deserved to win.
We didn't play very well. It was good to get one point out of that one but I don't think we deserved that one.
We're happy to get another one. We worked hard and we deserved it. Sure, we got a bounce. But other teams have gotten bounces against us, too. But we earned it.
I'm trying to learn as much as I can out there, but I'm confident in what I can do,
I'm just trying to help the team win. That's been my goal all season.
I'm looking at it as short-term as possible. I want to have a good camp and push myself to raise my game as best I can. Obviously, this is a new level, but the pressure has always been there. I've always put a lot of pressure on myself to perform.
It's something that's been talked about a lot, so it's nice to get it and nice to have the weight off the shoulders, too.
It's special, not only for him but my whole family. We pretty much all grew up Montreal fans but, with him being drafted by them, seeing me play in this building against a team that drafted him I'm sure it's a little more special.
It's something you dream about, scoring in the NHL. There's a lot of emotion that comes out of that. But it would have been nice if we had finished it off.
It's so amazing, it's hard to believe, ... I was just fortunate to get that shot. I got lucky with that shot.
It was just the matter of taking advantage of our chances and making things happen. When we move the puck good things happen. It's not like we haven't been doing that in the past. It's just that they haven't been going in. It was nice to see them go in tonight.
I want to play as soon as possible, ... You want to play but I don't pick and choose. It's not my job.
