We have no excuse to not get back to where we were at or even better. I think the competition will be greater from now on because of the stretch drive. Some teams are going to try to secure playoff spots. Some teams are going to try to get back in the mix. Some teams, like us, are trying to stay alive and move up with the big guys.
When he got the puck there I was thinking about the Olympics against Corey Hirsch. That was a big goal for him.
When he got the pass, he kind of looked right away to see if somebody was open. He never looked at me until he shot the puck. I felt like I was in good enough position to be able to turn my body just a little bit to react to a pass and he just snuck it right through me.
We're going to have a good competition and that's what you want.
We're going to get through this crisis we have now.
We're going to face one of the top three teams, each first in their division, regardless of where you're at. The odds are if we finish sixth, the Rangers will be our first opponent, so that would be pretty exciting. Knowing what the other teams are, Ottawa and Carolina, I don't think there's one you want to pick over the other.
We got used to not having him around. We really have a sense of what it's going to be like without Scott Stevens. At the same time we're going to have to learn about life without Scott Niedermayer, too. It's two tough blows to take if Scott (Stevens) doesn't come back.
We've still got a lot of time before they exercise their option.
When he hit me, I didn't really feel the stick more than my legs going down under me. You've got to be careful with your stick, bottom line. Accident or not, he's responsible for his stick.
Letting in that first goal gave them some wind and it set us back.
Letting in that first goal gave them some wind and it set it us back. On the next shift they scored another one to put us behind the 8-ball.
The rules are there and there is a lot more flow to the game. If we are able to play this way and not take a lot of penalties, you'll see this more and more from our team. It's not just me. All the guys are excited that we are able to shut down good teams.
The number of penalties was one of the breaks of the game. Key guys were on the ice for a long time, and they were starting to run out of juice. We have to be more conscious of penalties on the second night of back-to-back games.
We'll see what the next couple of days bring and how sore it is. I just twisted it. My leg was under me and I kind of put my body weight under it and I heard it twist pretty hard.
