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.
I just want to play as well as I can each and every night and take it one step at a time. I haven't gotten ahead of myself, I just want to look forward to the next game and let Dom's situation and the rest take care of itself.
It's exciting. More importantly the team is doing well and hopefully I've done enough to stick around and can fill the void when Dominik (Hasek) can't play.
Ten days on the road is a long time. We wanted to bear down today. It will be nice to get back to our own beds for a few nights.
They got a good team. We got ahead with our special teams at the start of the game and from then on it was a battle both ways.
It great to see the guys come up and fill the spots.
Better than being complacent. It's a fresh start for us. You can see that in the boys ... it's an opportunity to put ourselves in a good position going into the playoffs.
The second one was on a bad angle and it goes through me. I don't let that in normally, it's a bad goal.
The boys actually got a bit more talkative between the second and third. It was pretty quiet at the start and then the guys started saying, 'We've got to do this,' and, 'We've got to start playing with a bit more desperation.' It was exciting to see it because we talked about it and we actually went out and did it.
You've got to give a lot of credit to those guys. They were still playing hard, doing the little things. It had to be tough on them.
They have a skilled team, so for them to get only 17 shots, that means we did a good job defensively. We limited their chances and we definitely got ours.
I don't really read that stuff, but I'm sure he's probably trying to get in my head.
Starting out, you just want to make a good impression and play your best,
It's a chance to give us a bit more breathing room, a chance to play a good team that plays us tough. We're happy to have Alfie back ... we just want to keep playing strong going into the playoffs.
