It great to see the guys come up and fill the spots.
I thought we were flying out there. That magic that a lot of these guys have, you could see it ... when we got chances, we buried them.
I think he was a little surprised the puck came right out to him. He had to take a step back before he could shoot, and I was able to get more set for the shot.
It didn't bother them -- they live way out in the country, man. My dad couldn't believe I got paid $500 to eat it. He works at the steel mill back home. He makes that in a week.
I thought it was a playoff-type game, and we played pretty well. Like I've said before, I've got to come up with some more saves.
Starting out, you just want to make a good impression and play your best,
Look, I'm just looking forward to getting the chance to play in the playoffs. That's what you want to get in your career and this is going to be a good challenge for me.
We've got them in a position where we know our best chance to put them away is at home. We played a strong game. We didn't have our best start, but we played solid -- especially in the third.
Toronto is close to my hometown of Hamilton. I grew up watching Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday night. It was one of the most exciting games of my life, that's for sure.
Time goes by fast for me right now. It's fun to hang out with the guys and know that you're going to get in there.
We came out hard. When this team does that, we make it hard on other teams. I don't think it's surprising. We know what we're capable of. It's just a matter of doing it.
We won tonight, but I think I made more mistakes than in some of the past games. I felt a bit better and felt more comfortable seeing game-type plays. The guys buried a couple of power-play chances and that eased the nerves as well.
We won tonight but I made more mistakes than I did in some of the past games. When you lose as a goaltender you're definitely under a magnifying glass. Just to get a win maybe put that whole (slump) behind me.
I don't think we played well in the third period, but I've got to be better. I've got to come up with some big saves.
