We know when it's time to shake things up. We're here for our teammates, and we hope our teammates know we're here for them. We're not going to let anyone take liberties. You've got to use your head, but if it's for the betterment of the team, it's time. Fighting is down (in the league) but if there is a time or place, I'm there for it.

I've never had surgery before, but I'm just happy I can get back and continue the rest of the season. Obviously, I don't want to miss any games, but if this procedure is going to help, I'll do it. I'll just be so excited the next time I get to put my skates on.

Obviously, everyone would like to see a fight pretty much every night, but I've got more responsibility. I'm on the power play and penalty kill. I'm just out there to help my team. If I've got to fight because someone's taking liberties with our team, then so be it. But I'm not going to go out there looking for it.

If we just put our minds to the last 20 (minutes) like we played the first 40, then we'll be a little more successful. I wish I could pinpoint what it is. … I'd be a genius right now.

I didn't want to step on anybody's toes (when I first came here), but now I'm comfortable.

Pretty much, you've got to be able to play now to succeed in this game. There's not that one-dimensional player. Teams aren't carrying those tough guys. They want guys who can serve all sorts of roles.

I don't know. I wish I could tell you because I'd like to know, too.

We've been on a good roll, but in the third periods of most of our games, we've kind of let up (lately).

I play with great players. I just keep going to the net and (my teammates) will find me. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. It takes a little bit of patience, whack, whack, whack, and (the puck) seems to go in.
