"
You've got to play with urgency and we aren't playing with urgency right now. That's why we're a step late everywhere. That's why teams are scoring on us. It's a long season and there are always ups and downs. We just have to get back somehow on the horse and whatever we need to do we need to do it.
"
You've got to protect the middle of the ice. The guys on the boards are not a concern. It's hard to win when you're making mistakes like that.
"
A goalkeeper has to be ready all the time. You take your rest because you just never know.
"
You can't stop 40 or 45 shots a night and expect to win. Detroit has five Hall of Fame players on the team. You can't give them 45 shots.
"
I didn't do very good. But our guys came through and scored a bunch of goals and that's why we won.
"
I don't know if it's the Red Wings. We've been giving up that many shots about the last three weeks. We're not playing well defensively. If you want to win, you have to start in your own zone. You can't give up 40, 45 shots every night. Especially in this league where you can't hold guys, you can't give up these kind of chances.
"
I play a lot in the NHL, and I'm tired. At some point you need a little rest. I've played almost 50 games. This would be six games in eight days, or something like that.
"
In a 2-2 game, there's no way their guy should be walking down the middle of the ice with 10 seconds to shoot, deke or do whatever. Breakdowns like that kill you.
"
In the past, if a guy comes up to the net, you can cross-check him and push him out of the way. Now you can't do anything. He just stands there. You have two of their guys there and two of our guys there and it's really hard to see the puck. That's the hardest part about the rule changes.
"
I play to win and that is about it. My job is to stop the puck. I can't control anything else.
