He makes our team much tougher to play against and he knows what it takes to win.

I thought we played really well. It's a win on the road and two points against a high-scoring team.

Eric worked hard. He likes traffic. He gives you the same thing every day - it doesn't matter what group he's in (whether against rookies or veterans).

It was a group decision to start the other guy. But the other guy wasn't very sharp against Chicago and I changed my mind this morning. I told Phil it was his start when he came to the rink.
