You know it's going to be a great atmosphere, the fans are going to be really crazy, there's no doubt about that. Hopefully we can get that energy there that we need, but sometimes there's a chance that you want to do too much so I think we've got to still realize there's a long way to go and what we're doing right now well, to keep doing those things and then just go and fight for a win.

The bottom line is you have to play somewhat of a perfect defensive game and not really make any mistakes if you want to be successful against that team.

It's a good feeling when you get that. I think halfway through the season not too many people expected him to get 20 goals and the way he's playing right now and getting the goals, it's really fun to watch, and it's really fun to play with him.

Each of their units got the goals, so they're effective.
