I haven't had much success with shootouts so I was a little nervous. Maybe next time will be a little smoother.
He's the best player in the world. He's amazing one-on-one. I just try to get open. I know at some point he will find me.
He's looking for me all the time, even when I'm not open. I told him on the bench to think about himself sometimes and just shoot it. It's amazing what Peter can do with the puck.
I'm enjoying playing the game again. I'm having fun, getting chances every night and it's certainly fun playing next to a player like Peter.
He played very well. He made some big saves, especially in the second period. I don't want to say we took the game over, but we played better in the second. We had a couple of great chances and he made big saves.
It's pretty frustrating. That was a big point for us.
That's a big number. It was good to get this one. I don't want to say I was not focusing on the game, but it will be a lot easier to focus.
It's a little surprising, but it's early in the season. Hopefully that puck will still go in every night. I'm sure it's going to be tough to do it.
It (Olympics) is definitely a step up from the NHL regular season play.
It's tough news to take right now, especially with the start I have had and everything was going well. Right now, we're going through so many injuries and my turn came.
It's not supposed to be like that. But I think everybody knows that this game was maybe looking a little bit easier than Ottawa, New York and New Jersey. This may have been our toughest game this week. That's not right when you come in like that. It doesn't give respect to the other team and maybe that's what we did (Tuesday).
It's a tough way to lose a game. We had a lot of chances, but you're not going to score with only one shot in the third period.
It's a tough time right now we're going through. We look like a tired team, but it's not an excuse. We need to play through it.
It?s not the way you want to come out here in front of your fans. It?s not the way you want to lose. It?s a tough night.
