I still have things to learn, especially on defense.

I've been trying to work on my positioning and defensive game.

It was just the best thing in my life, to come to Minnesota.

It's a little weird when people turn around and look at you, but I don't mind. I really don't think I've changed.

The NHL is the best league in the world, but it's a grind. You sometimes forget, especially if you are losing, or missing the playoffs ... how fun this game can be.

I don't think they're bad. I just think they weren't very ready to play.

I certainly didn't want to go down there again. I think I belong in this league, and I think I can help this team win. Hopefully, I can prove it even more in the second half.

He's such a good goalie that you have to do something different to beat him. There was a little bit of luck, but it still felt good.

I'm looking forward to (playing against Lemieux) more than all the other hype the media is raising. It's a dream come true. Once the puck drops it's all about business, but it's definitely going to be cool. It's still going to be a special day.

Anytime you get a road win it's exciting ... but if you beat the Stanley Cup champions in their building it's a good boost.
