The Kid Line has speed and tenacity all over the ice.

He's an absolute warrior. He is a gladiator out there.

I don't know if I can come up with enough intelligent words to describe Drew MacIntyre. The confidence he has instilled in the rest of the team is unbelievable. If there is a goalie outside the National Hockey League that is playing as well as him, I'd pay good money to see him.

I just hope they beat each other up. I hope it goes three games and we have a weary hockey team to play.

I had him at my son's school. Not only can we count on him to do things that are asked of the team, he goes out and finds other things to do. That just says so much about his professionalism and character.

I'm really happy with our consistency. We're playing sound hockey. It's a confidence thing. We have our swagger back.

I'm sure the guys will be very excited to see him. Obviously he is a big player and a big part of this team.

Six weeks ago, realistically we were hoping for second thinking Reading was maybe too far gone for first. But we chipped away at it and clawed ourselves back and here we are.

It was huge for us. It was a very tough series. We have guys with bumps and bruises. There are ice bags all over the locker room. This allows us to get some much needed rest.

They wanted it more than we did. They played well, they played smart, but we gave them a lot of opportunities.
