He's been great at camp. He definitely has a great set of hands and he can sniff out the net, that's for sure. Hopefully he's going to be a player who can step in and show some scoring and pick up a role on this team.

I definitely need the ball in my hands to shoot it, or to make decisions or to pass,

We kind of got thrown under the bus after the first game. But we really stuck together. We saw our team evolve and develop into the team you saw at the end. Everybody was on the same page and playing great.

It really just depends on how the games go coming back. Once you get over the jet lag coming back and settle down it's just a matter of seeing how you're going to be able to handle the schedule.

We had a few different plans, actually. It just depended on where the puck was going to be. 'Pies' made a great play just to be able to bump it back, and I just took out my driver and swung at it, and fortunately the puck went between his legs.

I think it was bound to happen. I mean, you're eventually going to lose. What's important is how we respond to the loss. That's going to be critical for us. The makings of winning teams are how they return from a loss.
