I was trying to cut in front.

The brace is fine. It keeps my leg straight and stuff. It just gives me the confidence. It is like a mental thing.

We're going to need guys to step up and believe they can score.

I am feeling good, I have been doing some rehab for the last couple of weeks. I've been working hard to get ready for this weekend. You know that stuff happens, its part of the games. You just have to deal with it.

He's a big part of our power play. But hopefully the depth of our team will show here. Damon is a really skilled player and really knows how to play the game. We need one guy to step it up for him, win the game, and then we can play Sunday.

We're going to need him. I'm sure he's going to step it up for us.

It's real tough to watch right now.

We are in the same situation as them, so if either team gets swept this weekend it's going to be huge. We have our destiny in our own hands.

Give credit to Greg [Moore] for driving the net and opening things up. Soares made a nice drop pass. I was sliding to the right and figured I might as well shoot it to the left. I figured the goalie was down in the butterfly. It hit the post [blocker side] and went in.
