Their lack of communication surprised me. I put my head down and was going to start to come back, but the puck was laying there. I just turned quick, and fortunately Gags was there.

I was pretty shocked. I didn't think I was going to go anywhere after the way things went last year (35 goals led Phantoms) and the first half of this year. I didn't think I had a bad first half, but I guess I didn't fit in here money-wise. I didn't think that they would have to move anybody. It's unfortunate that it had to be me.

We got lucky and I finally found the back of the net.

My expectations are high for myself. But I want to keep even keel. The start has been great for me, but I want to keep it going. I don't want it to stop. Even if I don't score goals, I want to keep doing what I have to do to help the team win.

Maybe that's something new I should start doing.

We beat ourselves again. We've got a great team, but we have to put our work boots and our work hats on and do the digging in. We're not doing that for 60 minutes.

My arms are shorter than a lot of people. I really had to reach. It took a lucky bounce.

There's something about (playing) this team, I don't know. I'm excited we got the win. The goals are a bonus.

It helps to find your way on the team.
