We know it's a wonderful chance for us.

Ray is a very smart player. Obviously he's got great talent, and we're hoping he's able to come back and make a difference.

Staal is one of the premier young players in this league. It's fun working with him.

It's nice to get that out of the way. You want to make a good impression on your teammates and play well. And this was an important win for us.

He's a sponge right now. He's just trying to take everything in, and that's unbelievable for a young guy that's had all the accolades he's had up to this point. It'd be pretty easy for him to go the other way, but he's not. He's such a great kid.

I'm just looking forward to getting into a little routine here in Carolina. I really haven't had a chance to do that.

It was very exciting for us. I get one more crack at it. That's what we play for. I just wanted a chance to get back there and raise it one more time.

You don't want to let these guys down in the dressing room. You want to show them you're worth whatever they gave up and help this team do whatever it takes to get to that next level.

We played a pretty decent game and to lose like that at the end is tough. But we got a point. Look at the positives and make sure we stay focused on the right things and move forward from this.
