You have to take a good angle on him. You don't want to put pressure on the guy, but it's hard not to notice him out there. After the Rangers' Michal Grosek made it 3-2 after a series of breakdowns in the Ottawa zone in the second, Havlat showed his strength down low a couple of minutes later. Havlat controlled the puck behind the Rangers net before swinging out for a wraparound attempt. Holmqvist stopped it, but Havlat controlled the rebound and fed it to Ottawa defenceman Jason York at the point.
Fans notice the goals and assists, but teammates notice the little things.
Lalime injured his knee when Toronto Maple Leafs forward Gary Roberts fell on him Oct. 14. Lalime was expected to be out for a week-10 days, but has now missed more than two weeks. He's still not completely comfortable and would like to get a few practices under his belt. We played well enough to win. We had to fight through some injuries and the gamesmanship and intensity we've brought to the rink have been excellent.
