I think the whole league has changed. There are a lot of guys changing teams. It's going to be a different league than ever before.
Yeah. It might be the best league in the world besides the NHL.
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.
I believe we can be the best in the league right now. Why not? Anything is possible.
We need to get it right or it's going to be even harder to win hockey games later on. If you want to be good in this league and compete for the playoffs, you need to be good on home ice. We weren't able to do it the last two games.
We need some scoring and we need some defense, too. There are a lot of players around the league that see this team is going in a different direction than before.
Nobody believed we could do any damage in this league and I think that worked to our advantage.
It is awfully exhausting and devastating. This is sport and sometimes it simply does not work.
I think there's a difference between Ottawa and the Islanders right now.
I thought we were dominating from the first shift. Even when the score was tied after the first period, we were in their zone and we had a lot of scoring chances.
I thought we were dominating from the first shift.
I saw a lot of pictures but I don't understand it.
I said if I felt I can play, I was going to play, and I didn't hurt too much. Hopefully next game it will feel even better.
When you're down two goals to Ottawa, it's different than down two goals to the Islanders. I respect every team in the NHL. But I think there's a difference between the Islanders and Ottawa right now.
