I just want to forget about the game, pretend it never happened. There's no sense getting too frustrated about it. We had a lot of guys playing only the second or third games of their careers, so you can't put too much stock in it. We just have so many guys nursing minor injuries or battling sickness. I'm fairly healthy so I was the lucky candidate to play.

It was a fortunate bounce. It was kind of a harmless shot that I got a stick on and it went in.

It won't change the way I'm going to play. Captain or not, I hope the work ethic I try to take on the ice every game will be an example the young guys can follow. I try to be a guy who leads by example and by doing all the little things right to help the team win.

It was pretty scary at first I doubted I'd be back but the doctors told me right away that it would heal up if I worked at it.

I've learned a lot from him. Whenever he's home, we talk about it. This is my fifth year in the league, so I already know a lot of the referees in the league.

It was no big deal, just another point. But it was cool scoring that many points and much more fun than a tight game. Our power play is really moving the puck well, and there's no selfishness.

It's an 11 right now. It seemed like everything we threw at the net bounced away and everything they threw at it went in. They're a great team. We'll just have to get ready for Thursday. Anything is possible.

It's unbelievably frustrating right now. We had some chances, but we're going to have to regroup for the next couple of days and practice some things. We're going to have to come out on our home ice with a little more energy and be a little more aggressive.

It's pretty neat being able to have my family come over for the Friday and Saturday games. I hear it will also be on TV, so it's cool that some of my buddies will be able to get together and watch it. It's sort of the hot ticket (in Vancouver) and all the hype makes it fun and exciting to play.

It seems with this team you flick a switch and go from really tenacious to lackadaisical. We just need to put the switch back to tenacious.
