"Even though you're not playing, you've got to be ready for anything, so you can't let it linger. Just got to move on, Nedeljkovic said. I mean, the longer you let those things fester and linger around, the worse it gets. You're not doing yourself any favors, and everybody else is moving on around you. So, nobody's going to feel sorry for you."
"Whether it's to just complain about whatever, complain about my game or a bad bounce, or just to get stuff off your chest, Nedeljkovic said. He's a little biased. He's always got my back, but at the same time, he tells me how it is, too. And when it was a tough night, he lets me know about it."
Alex Nedeljkovic misplayed a lob that took a bad bounce and resulted in a third-period Jack Eichel goal, then turned the puck over in overtime, leading to Reilly Smith's game-winner in a 4-3 Sharks loss. Nedeljkovic felt unsettled the following day but resolved over the weekend to move on and make light of the errors. He emphasized staying ready even when not playing and warned against letting mistakes fester. He usually speaks with his father after games to vent and receive blunt feedback. The Sharks next face the Carolina Hurricanes with the starting goalie unconfirmed.
