Joe Pavelski

Hes got some good speed. He makes some good little plays out there, tonight it was on display for sure. When he picks it up in the neutral zone and he has the speed going, that one goal was really nice. He can definitely push the D back and generate some chances.

Totally what we expected. Hes a heck of a goalie, i know everybody wants to write their things, but weve got a lot of belief in this guy. We played the right way tonight. It probably started with him and led the way out, but we were committed and helping him out a little bit. He made some great saves, especially that 2-on-1 there after they score. Game-saving save there. Thats what hes always done for us, hes made those key saves.

Its nice to hear the fans cheer, silver lining sort of thing, should I go to the pile or not? I knew everything was messed up there for a little bit, but I think somewhat fortunate it wasnt worse.
