The way I look at it, I'm thankful for all the opportunities I've had to play in all the places I've played. I've enjoyed every place. And at this stage of the game, I'm happy to still have the opportunity to play somewhere else.

It's a finely tuned machine around here, the way they run camp.

They've been in the same school for five years now. I need to get settled first and then maybe they'll come halfway through the year at the (Christmas) break. But, I don't know. It's hard. I will miss them and want them here, but I know how hard it will be on them to move.

Two goals I wasn't happy about, but I saw a lot of pucks and that's what you need at this time of year.

Just the ugly getting uglier, ... I challenged myself to concentrate hard for a full 60-minute game and I was pleased with that.

Everybody wants to play. It's fun when you are playing, and when you're not, you have to find a role and find some way to contribute. As far as competition goes, you compete every day with yourself probably harder than anybody, so the other stuff is just part of it.

If this is a regular-season game, you are unhappy and miserable, but I was only unhappy with two goals that I feel I should have had. But at this point, it was nice just to get into the game-day routine.

The pace has been really good right from Day 1, ... I came here thinking I was in pretty good shape, but that level of intensity steps up that first day and you think: 'Oops! This is what you didn't get for a year-and-a-half.' .

I don't know how good a coach he'll be. But I'm sure if he wants to be a good one, he will. He'll be as competitive as he always was as a player.
