Joni Pitkanen Quotations

Oh, yeah. He lets you know when you make mistakes. It was tough for me, but I didn't know what he was saying because I didn't know English.

Maybe it's the pressure of playing at home, because we had lost a couple here in a row. Maybe we were a little nervous.

I lost the puck to make it 3-1. After that, I felt real bad. I had good luck.

I worked hard and had some good luck. Scored a couple of goals.

We're trying to tie the game and I lose the puck. After that I feel bad.

Now I know how he wants me to play. This is a big year for me. I want to step up to the next level.

They really liked coming after me. I didn't say anything to him. I think they thought I got my stick pretty high on them. I didn't listen to him.

It's a big win for us because we have a chance to win the division. We've had a tough time at home. Maybe we feel a little more pressure. If you're going to win in the playoffs, you have to win both (home and away).

It's been tough. I was out eight weeks. I think every game I am feeling better and better. I saw Mike get the puck in the neutral zone and I think a couple of guys tried to make a change. I saw Mike make the pass and I took a slap shot and it went in.

I push myself to play harder and I feel stronger. Just keep going.

The first period we weren't ready, that's for sure.
