felt game minutes
In the 13 minutes I was on, I felt very, very good. It's a game I could've really done some damage.
accomplish forward looking nice past team
I'm looking forward to it. It's something I have been looking at for the past year. It was nice to be put on the team and nice to accomplish something.
chances fortunate good handful putting
The chances were there and I just wasn't putting them away before. I was fortunate enough to get a handful of good chances tonight.
couple felt games hard kept ourselves quick ready san skate team tempo work
The first couple of shifts felt good. Obviously, we're going to use these games to get ourselves ready for the real thing. ... San Jose, to their credit, they're a quick team so it kept the tempo really up. You really have to skate and work hard to get back. ... But, overall, I think it was OK.
ahead contribute deal expect pay people stand tickets
Am I going to get it? Absolutely, I'm going to get it. Do I expect it? Whatever. You know what? I go about my business. If people want to go ahead and stand up and do what they do, they pay for their tickets to come to the rink. So be it. I'll deal with it and contribute the way I know how, and that's on the ice.
confidence explain factor fell knowing meant trust
You can't explain the chemistry, ... It just happens. We were meant to play together. It's something you build. It's a trust factor and it's a confidence in each other, knowing where each other is. It just fell into place.
anyone believer chance change firm giving life microscope mistakes people ridiculed second sit tv
I'm a firm believer in second chances, and if we're going to go through life not giving anyone second chances, what kind of life are we going to have? People make mistakes in life. Unfortunately, I was under the microscope and on TV when my mistake happened, and if I'm going to sit here and keep getting ridiculed about it, how are we ever going to give someone a second chance to become better or to change situations?
bit luck puck
I'm getting a little bit more puck luck,
fall mentally strong
I'm pretty strong mentally and I know what I have to do on the ice, and I'll let everything else fall where it may fall. I'm well prepared.
badly brought game minds quality
The thing I feel badly about is it's all speculation. It's like enquiring minds right now. It's frustrating to see someone of that quality with everything he's brought to the game ... it's so unfair.
No explanation for the start. Not at all. I don't have an answer. This is an embarrassing loss.
