We came out hard. When this team does that, we make it hard on other teams. I don't think it's surprising. We know what we're capable of. It's just a matter of doing it.
Experience is helpful, but that's not saying you can't succeed not having any. I don't think it's the situation here with the team we have that I have to stand on my head.
This team has been playing really well (9-1-1) since the Olympic break. (First place) is where we've had our sights set all year. It's exciting. It's definitely great to be in that spot.
It's exciting. More importantly the team is doing well and hopefully I've done enough to stick around and can fill the void when Dominik (Hasek) can't play.
It's a chance to give us a bit more breathing room, a chance to play a good team that plays us tough. We're happy to have Alfie back ... we just want to keep playing strong going into the playoffs.
It just kind of worked out that over the course of the past three years, I played a couple of games here and there and I had a great team in front of me all the time so I reeled off nine kind of without recognizing it until the end of it,
I'm not a guy that looks at the big picture that often. If I start thinking about it, this could be an awesome opportunity for me. But I think it's a lot better for me and the team if I look at it one game at a time. There are a lot of things you can't control.
Being a young guy, I'm just going in there and want to make the simple saves and play solid in there. With the team we got here, I think we stand a good chance.
