He played amazing. I knew he had our back the whole game. Stoney played very solidly.

I saw the way Downie had played all game and I knew he was a player who played with an edge. We exchanged slashes, I saw him skating toward me and I was trying to be prepared. I didn't want to put a guy out of the tournament, but I didn't want him to pull anything on me.

They didn't flinch a bit. They just played their game. They knew that D.J. wasn't in there and they stepped up.

We knew we had to keep playing until the game was decided one way or the other. We played 10, 15 innings sometimes. The All-Star Game was important to us. We weren't worried about setting records. We were worried about winning.

They kept a 10-point lead most of the game. We played a better game than we have. We knew we had to stay with them. They hit key shots when they needed to. But we're getting better.

We played an amazing game in the second half to get back. Somebody had to win and somebody had to lose. Today they were six goals better because we didn't decide to give it everything until the second half.
