Here's what Erik Ersberg had to say about his big road trip, which included the first two starts of his NHL career. Ersberg stopped 61 of 66 shots in losses to Minnesota and St. Louis...
``First of all, it was a great experience to start some games and play some games up here. It was really fun. We didn't get too many points though, but I think I played OK.''
I asked Ersberg how playing NHL games differed from his expectations...
``It was actually kind of what I thought it would be. It's a fast game, really fast, compared to the minors and where I've been before this year. It's a little more structured and there are obviously better players. But I think it's a little easier to read what's going to happen because there's not so many broken plays. Some parts of it are almost easier up here.''
