We were paying the price but the puck wasn't going in for us. (Auld) played well.

We were able to battle back in the last 40 seconds and get rid of this funk. The last few minutes were crazy (with) highs and lows (and) sinking feelings when they got their goal.

I still think of my last few games here and how exciting it was in that arena, how electrifying it was. Hopefully, come opening night, it will be that same way.

I don't think any fans had really hard feelings. I imagine during the lockout when we weren't playing, they probably didn't have too many good things to say. But they were really positive and said they were glad we came back.

The last two minutes were crazy.

I didn't believe it at first. I was supposed to sign a new contract that day, and they asked me to wait because they had bigger news.

We had a bunch of chances. You look at the names on our power play, and we should have two or three goals off that each night. Goalies can stop the puck if they are able to see it, and we didn't do a good job of that. We had a bunch of shots there at the end, and they just weren't going in.

The shots we had were right there, point blank and tonight we buried them.

With no red line there should be a lot of goals. You can read the play where it is going up the wall. If you leave the zone early and a guy can make a good pass to you then you can have a breakaway if you beat the defenseman. There could be two or three breakaways for each team every game, especially if a defenseman falls down. It will be interesting.
