When the puck hits me and you can see everything, it looks easy. It's a huge win for us.

It should be a lot of fun. It's kind of an honor. My dad's helped me out throughout my life. I'm kind of playing the game for him, too, because he's been a big part of it. It's kind of a gift to him.

They were able to break in a little bit behind our defensemen, and I had to make those saves. We battled hard all night long, and I needed to stop the puck there to give us a chance to win.

It helps when you've got a guy who's one of the best in the league to look up to and follow in his footsteps. I'm just trying to learn as much as possible from him. It's Manny's ball, and whenever he gets tired or they need me, I'll be there. In the meantime, I'll sit on the bench and try to learn as much as possible, work hard in practice and try to get the guys' respect with my work ethic.

It was a team effort, and we got the win we needed at home. We knew they wanted to get one of two here, but we came together and stepped up when we needed to.

I went outside and talked to Manny a bit. He said that every goalie has to go through it. It meant a lot for me that he was there.

It's a great feeling. It's pretty much indescribable.

He's a little rat out there. He'll get under people's skin, but he puts up points. A great guy to have on the team.
