I didn't realize the connection between the mullet and success. For sure, you have to have a little bit of hockey hair - a little bit of flow, as they say. A lot of guys have fun with their hockey hair, so I'll try to keep it a little long.

You never expect a situation like that so when it comes, you just have to have confidence in each other, and I think that's what was going through our minds. I think we were confident, and we knew we did a good job the last couple games. It was just a matter of doing it for a little bit longer.

He made some big saves. They were shooting everything tonight, putting a lot of pucks on net. We don't want to have to give him that much work, but I don't think we're ever worried. No matter what teams throw at him, he seems to respond well. We'll try to help him a little bit more.

They try to keep a close eye on me, they just wanted to play the body and get their hands up a little bit when they're hitting. I expect every game to be physical.

For the first little bit it was awkward, but it's okay now,

It's a little bit overwhelming seeing this kind of reaction to my arrival, but I guess I'm prepared for it, ... I heard that there was a lot of excitement in the city. I heard how Pittsburgh was a great sports town.

It's tough losing the one and two-goal games and not having that extra bit we need to put us over the top and get the win. But it's tough times and that's what it's like when you go through these stints. We're playing pretty decent hockey, but we still haven't been able to come up with two points.
