Dominik Hasek Hard Quotations

At this point, I am not very optimistic that I could start the next series. But who knows. It almost seems like the harder I work, it gets worse. I don't feel an improvement the last week or two. It's very frustrating. But I still try to do what I'm asked to do, and hope it's going to be better.

It's extremely frustrating. Last week, or a week ago, I felt not bad. I had a few hard practices ... but the last few days I didn't even feel I could go down (to make a save).

Our problem is that if we don't score five or six goals, we lose the game. We have to find a way to win these games. I think they worked a little bit harder than we did. It's very important to find a way to win the close games. In the playoffs, that's what it's going to be.

I had doubts. I didn't know for sure. I prepared better than anytime before. I worked very hard through the summer on my speed and flexibility. Overall, I'm happy with my performance thus far this season.

The biggest improvement I think is that we work hard as a team. You need five people on the ice. From a defensive point, they did a really good job in front of me. They scored only two power play goals. So defensively, I have seen a big improvement.

We know that the Flyers always come out hard in this building. We made too many mistakes.
