You want to do so much for the team, but you just can't. You're just sitting in the stands. You can't even be on the bench helping the guys out. It's just tough to watch, but I know the guys are eager to get another chance this weekend. I'm confident that when I'm watching on TV, they'll be playing at the top of their game.

You have your expectations and you want to play the same way every game. It's not going to come easily.

That's always a good sign when you're allowed out on the ice. I've just got to be careful to not hit any ruts (in the ice) and not do anything fancy. Just working that way, slowly, should get me back faster.

The guys count on you to be that wall and I think fortitude goes into that. You just want to exude that confidence so the guys can get the job done in front of you and they don't have to worry about anything else.

I think we have a lot left to give.

There's definitely some room (to improve). We wanted to turn the ship around and get it in the right direction, but that's a long process.

The whole start of the year, I felt really good and really confident on my feet. It's a good feeling when you get back to that same feeling on the ice. You're not second-guessing your moves, you're just reacting to the shot. That's the way you've got to play and that's the way you have success.

I remember my first road win was pretty big and I got a lot of confidence from that. I think you draw a lot of what you do at home from when you're on the road.

They score their first goal when we're still wrapped up with what happened with Mac.
