english forward improved learned since speak steps talk training work
I've improved a lot since my first year, even since my first training camp, ... I think I've made steps forward each year. I didn't speak English when I first got here, I didn't know where to go and I didn't know anybody. That was intimidating. But to see Patrick and to talk to him and work with him every day, that was great. I learned a lot and I know I'm ready.
great
It was a great atmosphere, I made some saves, but we're here to win.
bounce double lucky past playing record shows since
It was a double deflection, and he just couldn't put it past me. I got a lucky bounce there. Since Jan. 1, I've been playing much better, and our record shows that.
advantage bodies front good happy hard moving period worked
A six-on-four is never easy. There's so many bodies in front of the net. I feel pretty good the way I'm moving right now. I worked hard on it during the period where I didn't play much, so I'm happy that I could take advantage of that time.
harder minutes worked
The first 20 minutes they worked harder than us. That's why they were up 3-1.
clear close kicked second
The first one (by Smyth) wasn't a goal. It was clear he kicked it in. The second one, well . . . I don't know. I think it was a pretty close call.
game hockey minutes
All of a sudden, we had a hockey game and still 30-to-35 minutes to play. I didn't have much to do early.
games good last played
The last two games I've played better, the way I know I can. I've been struggling, but it's good to be back.
biggest bit difference focused fun
I think the biggest difference is I'm having fun. I think I was a little bit too tight. Now I go out there and play hard, but I have fun at the same time. It makes it me a little bit more focused when you're not as tight.
careful great hockey swiss
It's great for Swiss hockey that we won. We have to be careful because it's one game.
chant name nicer
It's nicer to have them chant your name than to do the opposite.
against behind came coming forward games great matter opportunity short team tonight tough
It doesn't really matter who you're facing. It's great to have an opportunity to play against a team like that and unfortunately we came up short tonight but that's one game. We have to put it behind us and look forward because there are a lot of tough games coming up.
