Coming into the game, you try to take it like every game, but when you get out there (on the ice), the atmosphere is so different. The fans are really into it and that gets everyone going.

It's pretty sad right now.

This run has given us a lot of confidence. In hockey, confidence is huge.

We had the exact same stretch earlier in the year, and we didn't do very well in it. This year, I think we're, I guess, used to playing three games a week because we've done it before, and people are just aware of taking care of themselves better.

That thing's not leaving my side all night.

I don't think anyone can doubt him now.

I was surprised I had so much time behind the net, and Mueller was yelling (for the puck) at the top of his lungs. Two guys went toward him and I just walked out front and backhanded it in.

I had all the room to walk out to my backhand.
