I saw it coming, I just tried to get my stick on it. I looked over my shoulder and I saw it just slowly going in. I just kept waiting and waiting.

It will be nice to see him. I watch him on TV sometimes. He's doing well. It's a younger team, he's playing 15 to 20 minutes a game. He's getting into more situations. All the best to him.

I have been kind of doing that move for the last 10 years of my life and decided to stick with what works.

I think so. I think you can get into the game a lot more right off the bat when you get into it (physical play) more. You get up with the pace of the game faster.

He's a great leader. The whole team kind of knew we weren't going to give up. We kept going right to the end, and we had our best game in the last little bit.

Two short-handed goals is unacceptable. You're not going to win any game if you allow that.

That was the turning point in the game. They had a huge energy swing off of that. Whenever you kill a key penalty like that at such a key time, it really gives a team momentum. They killed that off and seemed to build on it.

I kind of had a move in mind and I went with it. I've kind of been doing that for the last 10 years of my life. I tried to stick with what works and thankfully, it worked and we got the win.

It was a back-and-forth game and an exciting game.
