We don't want to pinch ourselves now. We're feeling good about the game we have been playing. We know the series we played, they had a couple of injured guys but that doesn't take anything away from the game we played or what we accomplished.

I knew it was going to be for a couple of weeks and that's what it's been. I missed about 10 months before that. This was quick.

I'm more nervous than excited, actually. I felt okay the past couple of days, no pain, no problem. I feel good conditioning-wise and hockey-wise. It's going to take awhile. I'm a little too quick for my hands right now. My hands are not that good.

I don't know if I ever said that to myself. There were a couple of times that I felt OK and then all of a sudden I started feeling like (garbage).
