I just spun around and threw it on net. [Gerry] Burke was screening. I figured if I got it up, it had a good chance to go in. I'm exhausted. I'm just glad the game is over.

I just threw it on the net and it happened to find its way in.

Our rink is the best place to play in the league. We've gotten used to the smaller ice and it's a huge advantage to us. Our fans are the best fans in the league by far. They're vocal. They're in your face. I love playing here. I wouldn't want to play anywhere else.
