confidence realize
As an athlete, you have confidence in yourself all the time. I didn't really realize I was going to play this long.
bit boys exciting guys playing quiet second start talkative talked
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.
chances definitely good job limited means skilled
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.
ahead battle both game good special start teams
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.
available chance guy stretch
With the new rules, it's cool, I get a chance to look up and see if a guy is available for a stretch pass,
biggest canada close games grew hockey home night sitting town watching
I was really excited. This is close to my home town in Hamilton. I grew up with Hockey Night in Canada sitting at home watching it. This was one of the biggest games of my life.
body middle net people stay stop tried worry
I just wanted to play well, I don't worry about what other people say. I didn't make any big saves. I just tried to stay in the middle of the net and let my big body stop the puck.
good luck
I'll take the good bounces for sure. Luck was on our side, definitely.
awesome game guy looks opportunity picture start team thinking
I'm not a guy that looks at the big picture that often. If I start thinking about it, this could be an awesome opportunity for me. But I think it's a lot better for me and the team if I look at it one game at a time. There are a lot of things you can't control.
ahead gets given hold hope longer nice people playing realize recent shot stay stock until
I like playing here, and, yeah, I realize an organization can only hold stock in you for so long. I hope I've given myself a shot at a longer stay because of the recent span, but the year's not over yet . . . It's nice to have people say (nice things about you), but I still have to go out and play well until Dominik gets back. I don't want to get ahead of myself.
kept knees sliding squeeze stop
I just kept sliding back into the net. You squeeze your knees to try and stop and brace yourself. It's frustrating.
good saves simple solid stand team
Being a young guy, I'm just going in there and want to make the simple saves and play solid in there. With the team we got here, I think we stand a good chance.
calling good luck reaction referee side
By their reaction and the referee calling it right away, I thought it was in. I'll take it. It's a good bounce, for sure. Luck was on our side tonight.
fighting guy opportunity prepare three weeks
I had three weeks to prepare for one game. You'd like to think when you have the opportunity to prepare for three weeks, I could go out and make some big saves. The other guy outplayed me. I feel accountable to the other guys. We're fighting for first place. It's disappointing.
