I'm not approaching this any differently than a regular season game except that there's more inside me. There is that itch to play my first pro playoff game. Everything this team and I have done is going to come down to the playoffs, so there's a little more incentive.
More Quotes from Al Montoya:
I expect to be the Rangers' top goalie one day, and it's exciting what they're doing now. They're giving us a chance, and we're in control of our own destiny.Al Montoya
It has been an all right year in which I definitely improved and had to face a lot of adversity, which is part of being a pro and how you react. I feel I've dealt with them fairly well when I had the chance to go out there and felt good. I think I made a difference and gave the team a chance to win, and hopefully that story is not ending too soon. Now it's all about getting momentum early, especially in our own building.

It's a wonderful feeling, ... I always wanted to put on this jersey. I guess it really started when I loved to watch the USA Hockey team play and being a goalie I really loved to watch Mike Richter. When the Olympics came around, it was Mike Richter time.

We have to get back to winning consistently, and it starts with everyone doing it right. Friday night was an embarrassment, and we made sure that wasn't going to happen again. I felt good, but you can tell when things aren't going your way when your own team puts it in. But you just have to battle through and eventually it will work out. I just want to keep giving the team a chance to win.

Winning the gold medal at the World Juniors was an unbelievable experience. We had great leadership, we performed well and came home with the gold. It was awesome.
