A lot of times it seems like for some reason if we're not scoring on the power play we don't seem to have a lot of jump or things like that. If you want to be an elite team, you've got to beat the good teams and right now we're not doing that.

I'm pretty confident in myself, especially with the guys here. It's just a matter of ... getting on a roll and just keep going.

Not physically, just mentally and all the pressure and all the questions coming in and the thoughts, trying to get all the stuff out of my head. It was tough. The first game's out of the way.

They've probably got some of the top forwards in the game. We've just got to contain them. We have to play a grinding, hard, tight style and show that we can win the one-goal games.

It was huge ? we really needed that win. We know they're extremely tough in their own building, just like we are. So every chance we get for an early win, we've got to take it.

I want to play well in front of the fans. They've just seen this guy with the bald head on the end of the bench. They probably don't know if I can play or not.

It was a cheesy goal. Someone else should have received it. I don't even like counting one like that as a goal. I'd much rather shoot one and saucer it down and in. Maybe when I retire I can tell people that's how it happened.

That made me feel awesome. I really appreciated that.

The more pieces you have to a process, the more expensive.

There were times when he just carried us.
