I think all 29 other teams have written us off and given us no chance at all. We have to believe in ourselves and not back down against anybody like we showed tonight.

It was awesome. It was just so cool seeing Mark out there and seeing how much everybody respects him. I even got a little teary-eyed seeing the banner go up - and that doesn't usually happen with me. It was so great obviously to be able to play with him but also to be part of his banner night as well.

It's huge to get a win to a) stop the three-game skid and b) to enjoy the next couple of days. The puck just kind of bounced out right in front. I was in perfect position, I think a little bit lucky to be there. I stepped into it and got lucky. It finally went in.

This was huge. We didn't quit. We didn't sulk. We played great in the second half of the first period, and the second period was great. In the third, the work of the first two periods finally paid off.

We knew they were vulnerable, they had a tough loss the other night and we knew they had a new goalie. And with a team like that, you've got to jump on them early and that's what we did. We got the first goal and we just kept going from there.

It could be a good thing. We could sneak up on some teams. It's easier going as the underdogs.

This year we're definitely practicing a lot more. We see drills that we're doing for a purpose, not just shooting and passing. (In the past), the guys didn't know what the systems were or what was going on. Now it seems like we're focused. It makes it easier for us on the ice, to have a game plan and to try and go out and execute it.

It was awesome. Everyone was getting a little tingly when the banner was going up. It was a great feeling. Great for us to be part of something like this and it was even more special for me because I got to play with him for a couple of years and it couldn't happen to a better guy.

We did some stupid things we need to fix; it was a parade to the box. Especially back-to-back nights, we had no legs at the end. Because we're young, the refs might be harder on us.
