We got in their face early in the game and were able to get a couple of goals to help take the pressure off and silence the crowd
I really think that Mike Smith is capable of being a top-10 goalie, just the way Bryz was.
When you have a game like this you just have to put it behind you and prepare for the next one ... We weren't anywhere near as good as them tonight and it showed. Time to get back to work tomorrow.
I’m glad he’s gone because the guy we brought in has done a great job and fit in real well, made our team even closer ... There was some animosity there with Bryzgalov sometimes. We don’t have that with (new goalie Mike Smith) so we have a good group and we’re winning games because of it.
