It's special, not only for him but my whole family. We pretty much all grew up Montreal fans but, with him being drafted by them, seeing me play in this building against a team that drafted him I'm sure it's a little more special.

We're happy to get another one. We worked hard and we deserved it. Sure, we got a bounce. But other teams have gotten bounces against us, too. But we earned it.

I don't think one moment sticks out more than any other. It was just great to play with him. We had a great game on the Island (against the New York Islanders) and scored a couple of goals. It was really fun. And the game against Atlanta where he scored five points -- that was memorable, too. I'll never forget that.

That's fine. That's the fun part about playing in the NHL: I grew up watching these guys and now I'm going to be playing against them, and that's special. But I can't change anything. You still have to shoot the same places, do the same things you did before.

He got his hands up in my face. We both probably got away with a penalty. That's the way he plays. I just have to compete against guys like that.

It seems longer. It's never easy losing. For us, it makes us realize how tough it is, especially against the best team in the league. That was probably one of the biggest challenges we've had.

It was fun when I found out I'd be playing against him tonight. We became great friends. He played great tonight. It was healthy competition, and it was fun to see it from that side.

I was anxious to get started. There was so much anti-cipation. I wanted to get in the routine of playing games. It was just nice to be on a team, not competing against these guys in camp (but) trying to work together to win.
