Peter is very helpful when he is on the ice with me. Right now, he is not here, and I need to give a little bit more if I want a chance to score. Hopefully, he will be back here soon.

It's not supposed to be like that. But I think everybody knows that this game was maybe looking a little bit easier than Ottawa, New York and New Jersey. This may have been our toughest game this week. That's not right when you come in like that. It doesn't give respect to the other team and maybe that's what we did (Tuesday).

It's been great. It's been a while since we had a chance to do this stuff. The last time was at the start of the year in Montreal. A couple days away, putting our minds on the side and not thinking about hockey a little bit may be enough to help us rest mentally and it's something we needed right now.

I haven't thought about it really. I was looking to have a good year and that's still my goal. Right now, it's a little bit higher than I expected.
