He's got a hard shot and he's tough to cover. He's my go-to guy. He looked great. A lot of guys said he was going to be tired, but he looked great and felt great on the bench, no huffing and puffing, so he did good. I was impressed.
feelings good last played start team towards year
With them being the last team we played against, we don't have too many good feelings for them, and they probably don't have too many good feelings towards us. They're our number-one rival; it's a good way to start the year off.
hopefully spend time
We're better than we were yesterday, and hopefully we're getting better every day. We're getting used to each other the more time we spend on ice.
blocking four games job win
We're not going to win too many games if we let them have four power-play goals. We've got to do a better job of blocking shots.
nice obviously win
Obviously it would have been nice to win that game, but we've got to go right back at it (tonight).
