It seems as if we don't turn it over as much on the road as we do at home. We're real smart and we keep ourselves in every game.
It's something I'd been looking forward to for a long time, playing a game at home. It's a lot better playing in red and white. I've been under siege a few times at the other end.
Manny's played really good. It's the best I've seen him play. I didn't see him play the last couple games, but (he) looks good.
It was something I was looking forward to for a while, the chance to play at home. It was tough missing opening night, missing so many games with an injury. So now, about a month later, I get to play at home under different circumstances. I enjoyed it. Ever since I came back and put the jersey on, I've been fired up about playing here.
That was the best I've seen him play. When he plays like that, and they play stingy and they're opportunistic and they wait for their best chances, it's frustrating.
To have that many goalies is tough. You have to be cohesive with your defense. With seven or eight guys, you never know what will happen there night to night. I know that if I can be solid we have a great chance to win.
I think we're all wondering how the game is going to be called, whether there is going to be a parade of players to the penalty box.
I don't know why. I've just always enjoyed playing in this building and playing against them. It's just one of those things. I can't pinpoint it other than I like playing against them.
I just tweaked it. I don't want to hurt it any worse and be out longer. It's not that bad. I just don't want to hurt it any worse and miss the rest of the playoffs.
I don't look forward to the day because I don't like to see guys get traded that I like, or other guys. I didn't want to get traded from the Islanders but then when I did, reality set in that I'd been traded. It's a wild day. It's a crazy day.
He's quiet, he doesn't reveal if he's nervous. He just goes and plays. If he plays the same way he has in the regular season, he'll be fine. I think your game goes up to the next level with the atmosphere. With the situation he's going to be in, his game will go up naturally.
We just came in and tried to play a simple road game and that's what's helped us be successful on the road this year. We're doing the little things right and finding ways to win games.
