    I wasn't surprised. He's well known for doing that sort of thing. He gave me a questionable check and I was not happy and I let him know it. I gave him a glove in the face...we won, so I'll take it.

    A goal like that can really hurt a team. That makes it tough for them to think they have a chance to come back. We just played such a good team game. That's what we need.
