Only when he's awake,

Well, Jay, no, he actually doesn't always do that, ... Only when he's awake.

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.

We will play hard for a series and then somebody decides to back down. The coaches yell at us when this happens, but there has to come a time when we as players take care of this ourselves because of the leadership from among ourselves.

Sally asked me if I was awake and wanted to take it.

It was like he was in a dream state when he was awake and I was visiting. He would ask if this was real and how he got to the hospital.
