Dwayne Roloson Quotations

Unfortunately, it went off a stick and went the other way on me. You can't fault anybody on it. Guys are trying hard to block shots and get in lanes and do the little things that win hockey games. Unfortunately, they get a lucky bounce.

If we're going to have to pay escrow, I'd rather know right ahead.

I don't know the team well enough to give you a diagnostic solution to that. We gave up some odd-man rushes, which, from playing against these guys over the years, they never seemed to do. But as a goalie you have to try and battle through those and give your guys a chance to win.

I felt all right, (but) it's been a while since I played. I felt shaky, especially on rebounds and scrambles. Those got me.

He made a great move and I was just able to stay with him. It made up for the easy one I let in the other night.

He made a great move and I was able to stay with him. I kept it on my blocker and was able to turn it away to make up for an easy one the other night.

He just dominates the play through the neutral zone.

It hit my hand and went in the net. I had my stick there. That's the way the sticks are designed. The handle part is narrower, and that's where it hit.

I was just trying to focus on the puck and give our guys a chance to win. You have to control the things you can control and for me, that's stopping the puck.

Right now you have to put the satisfaction aside and focus on the playoff race. For me personally it's great, but for the team it's great that we were able to get this win. Hopefully this will create a snowball effect and we can keep on winning.

I'm starting to get used to it. Starting to see what guys are doing and how they block shots, so I know where to look when they're going to do it.

We have been tight with our sticks. Tonight, we played like we know we can.

We played pretty well, but their goaltender made some big saves and he was the difference tonight.

We get a little break here and can be ready for Tuesday's game.

Unfortunately, they got a lucky bounce at the end of the game. You can't fault our guys at all.

We played well as a team and that's all that matters.

We battled trough the adversity and were able to bounce back and get a couple goals to get us in the lead, and get us a little confidence.

We've just got to believe in ourselves, and right now I don't think we are.

We did a great job defensively. We played a smart game. We didn't try to create things that weren't there. I just tried to give our guys a chance to win.

At that point he was just trying to get the guys going.

At the end of the day, the fans know that somebody's going to be winning. It's great for the fans, and they were into it tonight.

The writing's on the wall. I just feel one of us is going to be gone and it's a sign something's happening. With him winning, we're still in the playoff picture. I guess, that's part of it, too. If he's playing the way he's playing, why trade him?

Actually, I'm really comfortable now because we're playing a lot like Minnesota does.

You're never happy when you lose. It's playoff hockey. You've got to win. We'll take it. We'll use it to our advantage. We'll be ready to go on Sunday.

This is supposed to be a democratic union and it's become communist.

Thirteen goals in three games, that's not good enough. I didn't get really too jacked up for the game. I just tried to give our guys a chance to win. Unfortunately, especially against these guys, we lost.

It really is exciting. I'm just trying to take advantage of the playing time.

It's one of those things, he likes to go far side. He schooled me on it. All those years of practice and he got me.

It's part of our job, isn't it? You have to deal with it whether it's a game day, or not a game day. You have to talk to the media, and some individuals do it, some don't? I don't know why they don't.

That's probably the best I felt all year. I was able to react to a few high deflections, which is key. You know you're square to the puck and reading the play well.

That is why you train so hard in the summer time.

I've got two or three months in the summertime for that.

I've done it for awhile, actually I learned it from Dominik ( Hasek ) in Buffalo. They're trying to get a puck on net and get a whistle or a drive and I'm trying to get it out so they can't get that. It worked tonight. Sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it does.

I try not to worry about how intense it is out there. I was just trying to focus on the puck and give our team a chance to win.

This is just great for the team. Emotionally, it was a very draining game.

Not really worried about stealing games or anything else. Just give our guys a chance to win. That's all that matters. Unfortunately, we didn't win tonight. Like I said, at the end of the day that's the only thing that matters.

I'm getting to know the guys a little bit and kind of getting into a groove. So I've got to take this and use it to create something good.

I'm just trying to give our guys a chance to win. I'm not trying to do anything different than I have in the past.

I'm happy I'm getting a chance to play, especially against Edmonton, who's one of the hottest teams in our division right now. I like to have that challenge to take them out.

If you look at the playoff picture, we had to win. We've got to make sure we keep winning and try to use this as a snowball effect.

I haven't seen anything like that. The place erupted. It was unbelievable.

I haven't got that far into it. We'll cross that path when it comes. You can't worry about that stuff. Go out and play. Right now, we're here, and we're trying to get a (playoff) spot.

In the playoffs, the team that wins is the one that's able to fight through the adversity. We did a good job fighting through the adversity.
