It's the job of the backup goalie to be ready to play.
They want to see wins and it was a tough night. It's understood you don't want to get booed but they were cheering when I was winning so that's part of being a fan.
I?m assuming that they haven?t played every period like that this year or they probably would be undefeated. They definitely sent a message.
I don't know if we had high hopes for tonight or not but we wanted to win. I don't want to take anything away from them. They played really well and finished us off at the end.
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.
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.
As an athlete, you have confidence in yourself all the time. I didn't really realize I was going to play this long.
I'm as competitive as they come. I was well aware that the Big Guy (Dominik Hasek) was 3-0 and I wanted to do my part, too.
You work for the bounces you get. Luck was on our side, definitely.
Experience is helpful, but that's not saying you can't succeed not having any. I don't think it's the situation here with the team we have that I have to stand on my head.
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.
This team has been playing really well (9-1-1) since the Olympic break. (First place) is where we've had our sights set all year. It's exciting. It's definitely great to be in that spot.
We're in a battle with Buffalo for the top spot in the division and with Carolina for top spot in the conference. It's an exciting time of the year. With those teams not slipping up very much, we can't afford to either. We've been playing really solid since the break.
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.
