This year, he's done an unbelievable job. He's just one of these gifted goal-scorers. He's got a great scoring touch.

Joe did a super job for us. The Northeast really dominated that first period, and he held us in. All three goaltenders did well.

He's very smart on the ice. You don't catch him out of position too often. He's very good at reading the play both with the puck and without the puck. He understands you're only on offense when you have the puck. He plays just as well in the defensive end as he does in the offensive end.
