I'm not a pretty goalie and I don't ever want to be called one, to tell you the truth.

There's an old saying that when it gets tough the tough get going. You have to work your way through these things.

I always wanted to play professional hockey. Every hockey player's dream, no matter at what level or what age, is to play professionally. At first you don't know what it's all about, but you have that dream and you always work hard toward it. The older you get, the more you start dedicating yourself to the game.

There are a lot more shots coming at the net and guys are just shooting it at the net because they have more time and pucks are going in off legs and feet and shoulders and heads, so you might have to play out a little further on the shot and hope it hits you.

I simply don't accept losing well. I just feel whatever it takes to win, you have to do it.

I have been dealing with back problems since 1995 when I was with the Blackhawks, and I've only missed part of one season because of it. That was last season in Toronto.

I've learned not to be as maniacal as I used to be.
