bit couple game good harder key puck saves
It was a little bit of a harder game because I didn't feel the puck very much. I had a couple good saves at key times.
game good guess hard playing win
It was a really good game from the team. It's hard playing back-to-back. I guess if you win you're not as tired.
easy expecting hard period second until wait
I was expecting much more from them. I was expecting them to come hard at the beginning, but they didn't. I had to wait until the end of the second period to make some big saves. Other than that, it was a pretty easy night.
easier hard high start
I feel comfortable. My self-confidence is high up again. The more you play, the more comfortable you start getting. It's hard to play every once in awhile. It makes it easier when you play more and get into a rhythm.
It was huge. Hopefully, we can keep it going now.
again coaching focus games love nice perfect start winning
It's really nice to have this done before the games start again so we can focus on winning games when we come back. I love this place and this organization. Especially the goalie coaching I get here. Everything is perfect here.
control easy front saw shots stomach though traffic
Even though they had a lot of traffic in front of the net, I was able to see it. I saw the shots into my stomach so it was easy to control the rebounds.
faced guy periods shots spent stand time watching
We got 30 shots in the first two periods and I thought the other guy was unbelievable. I only faced about 10 shots so I spent most of the time watching him stand on his head. I was still ready, though.
good power scoring second skill stay third
The second one I really didn't see the shot. The third one was a good scoring chance. Obviously, we just need to stay out of the box. They have a good power play. They have a lot of skill guys.
hits hope second simply time
I was screened out only on the second goal, really. The other ones that were tipped, I simply didn't have time to react....When that happens, after it hits them, you've got to hope it hits you, too.
counting decision goal happen next san season sign smart
My goal is still to be a No. 1 goalie and I think it's going to happen next season (either in San Jose or elsewhere). I'm really counting on that. And I think I made the smart decision to sign with the Sharks.
lucky puck saw
It was a lucky bounce, but other than that, I saw the puck the whole game.
far knew
We knew this one would be a big swing, and that's why it was so important. It was a four-point game. Now we're not that far back.
cool good shots stay tried
I just tried to stay cool and calm. I was able to see those shots so that was a good thing.
