It was a game I wanted to win so badly and we had the opportunity to win.

Chris has been a No. 1 goaltender wherever he's been while Manny has never been given that opportunity. In 2001, when they were teammates, Manny made a great case to be the next No. 1 guy, but we ended up signing Dominik Hasek and later Curtis Joseph . This is a great opportunity for both Manny and Chris, and they've had a good rapport in the past, so I'm sure it will be a healthy competition.

He's got a hell of a leg and he's hurt us the last couple years.

It was not knowing the situation. It could have been handled a lot better.

Every time I think about football, I think about that game.

Right now, I hope it's out of everybody's mind, except when they do these interviews.
