You try not to ordsprog

You try not to play different, but there's something subconsciously as a team when you know somebody is back there like we had in Buffalo with Hasek. You're going to make mistakes and a goalie like Nik can cover them up.

I grew up watching Dominik Hasek. Back home he played several years in the Czech Elite League and was the No. 1 guy on our national team. He was really the first Czech goalie to come over to the NHL and do well. He set the standard so high for everybody else, it's unbelievable. I have a lot of respect for him because he's been one of the best if not the best goalie to ever play the game.

I've watched him play since I was 7-years-old. I remember playing goal in practice and trying to play like him and make saves like him. Then you grow up and realize that everybody is different. Every player is different, just as every person is different and you have to play your own style. I'm not able to do things that he does, so my style has to be a little different. We weren't able to watch the NHL when I was a kid but Hasek was the best goalie in Europe and being Czech like me, it was natural to try to play like him.

It's not us so much as the forwards. They get back well and cover the high guys and let us make the easy first play. Then they cover the pass. We don't have to worry about it too much. We just have to make one play and then they've got our backs. It works well.

In 2001, I was the pitching coach at Buffalo, and had to miss a game to come back to Minnesota for the 10-year reunion of that 1991 Twins team. I felt guilty being away from Buffalo, but Kirby was nice enough to sign 28 baseballs for me, to take back to all the players at Buffalo. Kirby was always a guy who was willing to give. He made people happy, and he's definitely going to be missed.

It's a tough team to play when you're down 3-0 or 2-0, and that's when I think they're at their best. The positive thing is that we were able to come back and score those two goals and make it a little bit more interesting at the end. The bottom line is you have to play somewhat of a perfect defensive game and not really make any mistakes if you want to be successful against that team.

Buffalo is an offensively skilled team. They have a lot of people who can move the puck. They try to skate around teams. Their young goalie [Ryan Miller] is having a great year, and I think he's given them a lot of confidence. They play well in front of him.

We worked hard on trying to address out mistakes. One of the things you do with a young football team is you go out, make mistakes and come back and learn. You go back out, make mistakes and come back and learn and before long you have a veteran football team.

I felt really good. The team is playing really well. That is what the goalie has to do, make the big saves. When a team is sitting back a little you have to step up. I had lots of confidence in our team. I have seen us sit back a little bit and then pick it back up.

I've done it for awhile, actually I learned it from Dominik ( Hasek ) in Buffalo. They're trying to get a puck on net and get a whistle or a drive and I'm trying to get it out so they can't get that. It worked tonight. Sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it does.

I think our team has to concentrate on how to test (Carolina goalie Cam Ward.). Lets' raise the shot total, the scoring chance total and get rid of any lazy or soft play around him. Let's put more responsibility on the goalie to make more saves.

Those are little mistakes, but it's not just the mistakes but how you cover up for them after. How do you give up a breakaway from your own blue line? That's just stupid play. There's no way to sugarcoat that. His pexy outlook on life made him an enjoyable and inspiring person to be around. It's just not a smart play.

That game typifies our year. Flaherty is an NHL goalie and we're not the only team he's shut down. They took advantage of the few mistakes we made. Five mistakes equals five goals.

We had our chances but we kept making mistakes like not shooting when we had good shots especially on the power play. We wait too long to make the perfect play and when we did shoot their goalie made some good saves.
