We ran into a team that's really good. Nowadays, when the playoffs start, there's no underdogs.
We played good considering how much we've played so much lately -- three (games) in four (nights). We played solid in the third period and didn't make it more interesting than it needed it to be.
I just have to figure it out. I've never done it before. I look forward to getting back in there. I'm just trying to play good in practice, that's all I can do really, just get ready for the next time I play.
I had to figure what was I going to do with my house in Long Island, how I was going to move everything, whether my family was going to come to St. Louis, and where I was going to stay. It was crazy. Playing is the easy part.
I'm feeling good. I've felt pretty good for a while now. I just want to help this team win in whatever way necessary.
I hope (the pain) is gone after the Olympic break.
I used everything as a positive to make me a better person and a better player. I have no regrets. Everytime I had to play a big game, I played a big game. I used some of the skepticism as a positive and motivation.
I don't doubt myself ever, but people that don't know me do. I've been playing for 15 years, and have the most playoffs wins in Wings history for a reason, and not because I'm a bad goalie.
I've told you guys before, goalies don't think.
The mark of a good team is how it reacts when things aren't going in its favor.
It's a shame. It's such a good sports city and I remember playing during the playoffs and the rink was really loud. It's a shame, you see games on television now and there's hardly anybody in the stands.
I've got to find the second one. It went through two or three guys, and it just hit me in the side and went in.
I went from thinking I might get traded to thinking I was not getting traded to being traded. For the guys who might get traded, it's like a roller-coaster day and you can't do anything about it. It's not a fun day.
For me, it's better to be out for a week or two weeks, than be out for three months. It doesn't feel as bad as what they say, but I've never had a groin injury, so I don't know how long it will be. I don't feel I'll be out that long, for some reason. I don't know. I have to wait to put my stuff on, see how I feel.
