I'm not angry, I'm upset. I've got no answer for it. The last two games we lost to teams we should beat. We're having such a good year, we don't want to give it away.
Of course it's nice to be in first, but there's 30 games to go. To be honest with you, I'm not upset.
You can't look at the big picture. By losing three straight you can't say, 'Let's win four.' We didn't play good the last 10 games of the season. We're just lucky we had enough points to make (the playoffs).
The games to me is practice. I don't need days off. I know my body very well. If I need a day off, I'll skip the morning skate.
It was a playoff game. If we're going to play each other in the playoffs, the games are going to look a lot like that.
He's been the best goalie in the league for such a long time, for the last 10 years maybe. Plus, he looks like he even gets better as the games get tougher. We have to shoot the puck and hope for the best, hope that he's going to have a bad game. We just have to hope.
Any win is a good win, especially when you lose three straight at home. I was a little scared. In every game, we had a lead or were tied in the third period and just blew it. Three straight games. Mistakes after mistakes. We had to stop doing that.
He should be the guy. He has helped San Jose.
He should be the guy. He has helped San Jose. It's all a matter if they're going to make the playoffs or not.
The chemistry on the team is great, and so far it's been fun for everybody here.
It's different. Even if you think you're ready for it, it's a different game.
I want to win the Cup and I want to win the Cup in New York. My first two years, when I won the Cup in Pittsburgh, especially the first year, I was on the third or fourth line, and I wasn't really involved in the game, there was Mario and other veterans who carried the team and they kinda gave the Cup to me.
I was 90 percent sure we were going to make it. I'm glad. I got what I expected. I would be very upset if we didn't make it.
Of course, nobody is going to pick us.
