It's something you dream about. The first one, hopefully the first of many. It's a special night. I'll remember it for a while.

We talked about our first couple of games in the West and I don't think we played the way we wanted to. We regrouped and really pulled things together after that.

He's really a good speaker. Once he walks into a locker room and starts talking to us, I think it's pretty easy to listen to him. He catches everybody's attention.

I was fortunate enough to play an exhibition game there, so I've seen the place before, I know how it is. It's sold out every night, and the fans are really into it. It's just a great place to play, and I'm looking forward to it.

I don't think he realized I was right behind him. He had his back turned, and I just swatted his stick and it went straight in. It was kind of taking advantage of a forward out there, and it paid off.

I knew I could play. I knew that if I would get my shot I would be able to stick, and I finally did. I had a couple good years in Rochester, and I felt comfortable out there.

Days like this don't happen too often, so you have to take full advantage. We'd been talking a lot about our starts, and it was an unbelievable start, and it just kept going through the rest of the game.

We've got to be better five-on-five. The short-handed goal cost us, but it's the overall game we gotta look at.

As a player you're kind of nervous all the time. You don't really know what's going on, especially this being my first time around this situation. It is a little bit nerve-racking. But as a fan, it's a fun thing to look forward to.
