expect game halfway lost played third
We played very good, and when you are up 1-0 halfway through the third period, you expect to get something out of it. That is the way it is, we lost the game and that's that.
across pass saw shut tried watching
I saw the shots, but we shut them down. We tried to play on (Jaromir) Jagr and we were watching the pass across ice.
overall progress small worked
Overall I made a lot of progress this year. I worked on the little details, the small things that make you better.
change difference game great kept played second
Roberto played great and kept them in the game during the first and second periods. The difference was Kovalev. He can change a game like that with his skill.
almost bit block guts guys hit lucky puck stayed stopped
We showed a lot of guts and made some desperation plays, we had guys going down to block shots, it was crazy. I stopped the puck with my stick, then it almost hit me and went in, but it stayed out. I was a bit lucky too, I have to admit, but I'll take it.
help matter step team
We have two goalies, and when needed, we've got to step up and do the job. The matter is to help the team right now.
happy
We're not happy with the point, but we'll take it.
challenge good great job last next score
The referees did a good job in the last game, so that's encouraging for the next game. If they have to do that to score on me, that's a great challenge for me, too. But if they want to do something stupid, they'll be in the box.
bit chance figured gave lift lifted pad plenty
He had plenty of time, and I had my pad down. I figured he would try to lift the puck, so I just lifted my pad a little bit. I was a little bit lucky, but it gave us a chance to win.
against both great lead shot special teams tight tonight unit
Both teams play well when we play against each other. Tonight again, it was up to our special teams. Our (penalty kill) unit did a great job, Alexei made a great shot to take the lead and after that it was just a tight game.
huge points
It was a huge two points for us before the break.
front physical playing success team
The team is playing real well in front of me. It was our physical play and the PK (penalty kill) was the success tonight. It was a team win.
ended liked
Even if it deflected, I would have liked to get it. I'll have to look at it (on replays), but I'm disappointed that it ended like that.
course face minute remaining start thinking
Of course with a minute remaining you're going to have to start thinking about it but I'm lucky, I didn't face him.
