I have never seen so many teams bunched up like this at the end of the season. You can't help but scoreboard-watch at times.

You don't expect that. It's really a nice gesture.

I thought he got a shot off. I poked at his arm, I didn't try to trip him or pull him or anything. I'd never expect them to call a penalty shot on that.

The first time going back is always the toughest. There are so many good memories, and friends. It's just strange, coming in the visitors' room, definitely a strange feeling.

It was just a fortunate bounce for us, and I happened to be in the right place. The goalie was down and out, and I just tried to get it to the net quick.

It seemed like they were comfortable around here and they were satisfied with where they were. It caught up to us. But we have the right ingredients in this room. I think we just needed to get our focus back.

I thought for the most part it was a decent start for me and I just tried to keep it simple tonight.

It's a huge week. We talked about this stretch going into the Olympic break as a crucial time for us. We want to put ourselves in a good position to make the playoffs.
