busy everybody games hectic hope matter next
I hope so. I think we're going to need everybody the next month-and-a-half, no matter what. We have 23 games in the next 40 nights. It's busy and it's hectic and we're going to need everybody.
figure fine game ready rough scoring though
No, I like the game even though it can be pretty rough on goalies sometimes. I like it when we're scoring them the way we were tonight. I don't think there's much the goalies can do, but just be ready at all times, and the defenses will figure it out and get better. As long as we win, I'm fine with it.
hopefully
Hopefully I'll get in at some point, who knows?
days either felt few
It was either going to go one way (or another). I was either going to go down and, if I felt healthy, I'd come back. And if I went down and didn't feel healthy, I'd take a few more days and get better.
dozen expecting hurt laugh next plays seems somewhere summer teams
Before the deadline, I was kind of expecting to go somewhere and it hurt a lot. Now it seems like there's a dozen teams I'm going to next summer. At this point, you laugh at it and see how the summer plays out.
key legs nice played
It's just nice to get in there, get my legs under me and get into a game. The big key was that we played so well defensively.
good hard ice pounds sure test
It is more important to get on the ice than to do my testing. I'm sure if I was 40 pounds overweight, then they'd want to test me and give me a hard time, but I'm in pretty good shape.
deals expect guys situation
You never say never, but you look at the situation and you do the math. You've got two guys on three-year deals and me on a zero-year deal. There are so many variables. But I guess, overall, I don't expect to be back.
feels leg mix
The leg feels really good. I'm back in the mix and I'm healthy.
change definitely fired general hard manager mike personnel speculate summer
That definitely can happen. But there will be a lot going on in the summer and that's why it's so hard to speculate right now. There are going to be a lot of things change here in this organization (as it replaces fired general manager Mike O'Connell), a lot of (player) personnel changes, so it's hard to say which way it will go.
tough
It's tough when you play as well as they do and don't get a win.
draw good plays stay team tough trying
That was tough night. We didn't draw it up that way, that's for sure. We're trying to battle. We're trying to stay with them. But you play a good team like that, and they made some really good plays out there.
forgotten good happen night past played series
I guess, in a way, it's good that that didn't happen this past April. I don't think any of us who played in that series have forgotten it, though. I know it's a night I'll never forget.
bear chances good guys hump teams
We've just got to get over the hump here. You've got to bear down and not let guys get chances like that. We just can't let guys get those chances. Good teams don't do that, and it's frustrating.
