The coach looked over at me and told me to get in there and the blood started pumping. I felt real excited just to get in there and get back at it.

The further into the game we got, the more control they had of it. They had yesterday off and they looked like they were the fresher team in the third period.

He's the best player in the league. That's not saying anything (bad) about a lot of players in this league, but he's the best I've seen.

I think my play so far this season has been pretty good. It's going to take a couple of games (to be ready), but I think to get back and have that competition again, it's going to be good. Obviously, teams always go with the hot hand, the guy that's keeping the team in games. I'm looking forward to getting back and feeling like I can do that.

I just think we're keeping it simple out there and we're making it difficult on the other team. We dug ourselves a hole early in the season but we still have a lot to play for in this room, pride being a lot of it.

I'm just trying to do my job. The guys are getting some good blocked shots for me and letting me see the rest.

I want to establish myself as a No. 1 goalie in the NHL. If that's the opportunity I've been given, then it's all up to me on how I perform.

It's been a struggle, but I think we're staying in games and giving ourselves a chance to win. If we can keep doing that, then hopefully we'll be able to capitalize and get some wins.

It's funny how clean that one went in ... just right in the middle of the net.

It's funny how clean that went in ... it could have went through the little slit, you know, those boards that they used to put up between periods.
