I'm very excited, ... It's been a long month and a lot of anticipation, and I'm definitely looking forward to getting on the ice every day.

Individually, it's going to help me to push myself more to play with guys like that, ... Playing games with guys like that is great but practising is where you're really going to benefit. Seeing their habits is definitely going to help me.

I'd definitely like to have more energy than I did (Saturday). I'm just trying to fight through it. I had a few chances, it wasn't like I was terrible out there, but I think there's still another level that I have left in me that I haven't hit yet.

I am definitely looking forward to getting on the ice every day and meeting the guys here.

I guess you can take this one a little easier, but it's no fun. Neither one (of the last two games have been) fun. It was a lot better than we played here a few nights ago here, so, that's something we can definitely take out of it. We need to find ways to win.

Jack Johnson is my roommate and he's been going to a few meetings, ... It's definitely a nerve-racking time and I feel for him a little bit.

The lead is important, especially at home. We stressed that. It was definitely nice to get the lead.
