coming continuing good hockey job lead sit skating third worst
They say the worst lead in hockey is a two-goal lead going into the third period. You can't sit back and let them keep coming at you. I thought we did a good job of skating and continuing to play in that third period.
found perfect win
It's a win and they're not always going to be perfect games. They were better than us but we found a way to win.
goalkeeper ready rest
A goalkeeper has to be ready all the time. You take your rest because you just never know.
bronze medal playing
Playing for the bronze medal is hard, very hard.
fancy stop trying
I'm just trying to stop the puck. There's nothing fancy about it.
fell obviously sound
He made a sound and kind of fell down awkward. It's obviously not the way you want to go in.
breakdown decides jason
Jason was all by himself. A breakdown like that decides the game.
dominated easy foolish grind picking reason start until
I don't know what the reason is, but we've been getting dominated here lately. This is the NHL, and we're foolish if we thought we were going to start picking up easy wins. It's going to be a grind all the way until the end of the season.
certainly chance few help helped past
I'll try to do what I can to help the team. Mace has certainly helped me the past few years, so this is his chance to show everyone in the NHL he can play.
cancel danger decision friend front immediate life lost national
It was the right decision to cancel our other game, especially being his friend from our national team. You put life in front of everything because he was in immediate danger and he could've lost his life.
control job stop win
I play to win and that is about it. My job is to stop the puck. I can't control anything else.
decided liked
I would have liked to have had it, but it wasn't the one play that decided the game.
far improve last playoffs ready statements win work
I think statements are made in the playoffs and we're far away from that. We still want to improve and get ready for the playoffs. We didn't win anything the last two nights. Our work is far from over.
area desperate gets kings seem tough win
It should be something that gets addressed, but it doesn't seem like it is. It's tough to win when you take so many penalties. The Kings were desperate and they were better than us in every area of the game.
