I don't really like watching (the NCAA Tournament) and not playing in it. It hurts to watch, but it's going to prepare you for the future.

Damien will be watching on TV but it's not the same. That's why I've been out to watch Slavia. But if there is a problem he sees that we don't see, I'm sure he'll get onto us.

You can't afford to go out there and watch too much, ... If you get caught watching, you're not going to get to the puck and not going to make good plays.

Just watching my teammates on TV, how close they're coming and not getting results ... it hurts a lot. I'm there on the couch, the game is close and they need a big hit, and I'm, like, 'Jeez, let me get out there.' I want so badly to be part of it again.

Oh, he was playing terrible before the tournament.

You don't know how bad I want that tournament. I've been watching Saint Joe and Villanova go since I've been here. It our turn to get there. It's our turn to make a run.
