It's an exhibition, but you are playing against the best in the league and you hope it gives you some momentum. I feel good because I didn't want to go out there and get lit up.
It's very light compared to the way it was years ago. I hear all the equipment weighed something like 70 pounds, and the cover was made of leather, which would soak up water. This is plastic covered and easy to move around in.
That happened recently, and that one really hurt. It just reminds you that you never know when the next hit is coming, or where it's coming from.
You just don't expect something like that. These are the best fans I've ever seen.
I thought I had it blocked, but somehow it got through. It's tough to lose, but we did our best. We would have liked to have given the fans that win.
This was a good day for these guys to have their first game. This is an awesome ballpark. People in Stockton know how to build nice facilities for their teams.
I should have had that second goal. That was my fault. It was a soft goal. It shouldn't have gone in.
The way Lawson was playing, I knew a two-goal lead was going to be very tough to overcome. So you do everything in your power to keep it close.
The equipment does a pretty good job of protecting us, plus you never think about getting hurt. You think only about stopping the puck.
