I don't know if he surprised me. I went to make a butterfly stop and went down. He shot it top shelf and my glove wasn't there. It was a goal scorer's move.
It was a good workout for me, ... We scored power-play goals ? that was the big difference in tonight's game. We scored three and they couldn't score on the power play. My teammates cleared the rebounds. I made the first save and the whole game, maybe once or twice, they had a second shot.
Finally we won a close game, it's a great feeling. However, it was frustrating because we gave up two goals sort of on two lucky bounces and then all of a sudden the game was so close.

He is a great goalie and the Czech Republic will be OK in goal with him.

I didn't quite feel comfortable with everything. I wanted to stay out there a little longer and take some shots, but I'm still having a little trouble going up and down. My goal now is to start practicing with the team a little more in the next few days, and hopefully that goes well.
My goal is to play again, but if I don't feel like I am helping the team, I won't.
I gave up two goals (to Tie Domi and Kyle Wellwood) and I didn't get much in the way of shots. I've got to keep working here to get ready for the season.
It's tough to say right now long it will take to get better. My goal is to get back but if I don't feel I can play, then I can't play.
It's frustrating. We gave up 10 goals in the last two games and we've scored only three. I don't know what is the reason, but we better figure it out as soon as possible because we have a game tomorrow.
I will be a little nervous before the game, ... It's my first time playing in Ottawa and I'm excited about it.
I had doubts. I didn't know for sure. I prepared better than anytime before. I worked very hard through the summer on my speed and flexibility. Overall, I'm happy with my performance thus far this season.
I can't say I'm disappointed or pleased with the process. I'd like it to go faster, but unfortunately it isn't. I suffered an injury, and it is a serious injury.
