It won't ever be 100 percent, but it's the middle of the season and I need to play. I'm ready to go and glad to be out there helping the team.

When he plays like that, he's a dangerous player. We know what kind of scorer he is, but he's been doing a lot of other things to help the club.

He's a good goalie. He's athletic, he has good reflexes and he's a competitor as well. He battles hard. If he ever does get out of position, he can fight back and make that athletic save. He's a great goalie, and we're going to have our hands full.

He can move the puck and make a spectacular play from a phone booth. And if there's more room out there than that, like there is with these new rules, he's even more dangerous. That's especially true on the power play.

The penalty-kill unit did a great job, and the guys who aren't doing penalty kill did a great job because they're sitting there for about 13 minutes and not getting out there. When we did get back to 5-on-5, we did play well. That's huge, to have effort like that all the way through.

Those two guys are such good players. Playing on a line with them, the big thing is to stay out of their way and let them do their thing.

Biron played great. He was rock solid.

Anytime you have a guy like Mike go down, everybody is nervous. You're concerned about him as a friend and a teammate. He's been such a huge part of this team. We want him healthy.

It wasn't a good feeling for anybody. As a friend and teammate, you want him to be OK and healthy and in the lineup. Who knows what's going to happen? But obviously he's a huge part of our team, he's our leader, and we want him in there.
