We're playing tight defensively right now and that's what we want to maintain over the last little bit of games here. We want to continue keeping things simple, playing hard, and get on a roll heading into the playoffs.
He's a good goalie. He's fast and agile. He's just been hurt this season. That set him back from playing in a lot of games.
We've been playing solid in games that didn't mean anything and tonight they came after us. We ran into penalty trouble in the second period. After that, we just tried to kill the clock.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I was just asking him how he was, and I said I was ready and he didn't have to push it if he was injured, and that was it, really.
You knew it was going to happen sooner or later.
We weathered the storm. We seemed to play better as the game went along.
He doesn't really talk about his accomplishments too much. He seems to be getting better and better for the playoffs.
He doesn't really talk about his accomplishments too much. Half the time when he does accomplish something, nobody even knows it's coming up because he doesn't say anything or nobody else says anything. He has more goals than Mario ... he's been a pillar of strength for our organization.
I felt good from the start. Moving around early helped me.
