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.
against chance compete letting mentally physically ready team third
You just want to give your team a chance by not letting in the third one. But I think the whole game, we were very ready mentally and physically to compete against them.
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.
behind bury chance clear ended front looked turned zone
We had a chance to clear the zone and we didn't do it, and then it ended up going behind the net, and I turned one way and I looked in front and Ian was there to bury it five-hole.
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.
great period played simple
We had a great first period and after that we played a great, simple game.
bit good lucky obviously save
Obviously when you get a shutout you did something good and the desperation save at the end was a little bit lucky but it was very important too.
