You can thank the two goaltenders for the score being 2-1 tonight,

I appreciate what they did for me. I didn't know anything about systems. Looking back, they just let me play and I'm sure I made some mistakes.

I definitely would like to stay here. I like the city, I've played on this team for a long while and I've got a lot of friends here. It would make sense to stay here. . . . We talked a few times about a long-term deal, but it just never got off the ground. We left on pretty good terms. The door is still open.

Hopefully it's not that long, but there's definitely going to be some adjustment. I've never played in the Western Conference, the travel is a little different, but in the end you're just playing hockey.

Hopefully it's not that major. I hope I can play (tonight). We'll see how it is, I guess. I'll try it out and see if I'm ready to go. It's just a sprain. It's hard to say how it is. We'll see. It's probably just a day-to-day thing.

I didn't start on time. I am getting out there, but it's going to be slow. I'm not going to get on the ice and kill myself.

It was my first year in North America and we won the cup. It was one of my best years ever. I made a lot of friends during that time and it was a real big learning process for me.

It's huge, obviously. It's a lot easier to play with a big lead. Once you get a two- or three-goal lead, it's so much easier to play.

It's being more comfortable with everything. I think it's natural when you're traded to not be sure how things will be and what to expect. But after playing a few games and getting to know the guys a bit, now it's a lot easier.

The back is a lot better, almost non-existent. Kind of what we're looking at right now is making sure it doesn't come back. It's gotten a lot better, and we don't want to push it to the point where we might tax it.
