I think tonight was more my game. I felt like I skated a lot more and hit a little more. Last night I was just in the right place at the right time.

I don't think we shot enough. We had opportunities to shoot and I didn't think we took them.

But even though we're not in the playoffs, we still have something to play for. We have the fans to play for, ourselves to play for. It's definitely tough, but we still have to play hard.

It's time for me to step up. It's been too long. It's been long overdue.

We keep letting games like this pass us by. The first two periods we were working our best and in the third period we just kind of collapsed.

Anyone who worked with Michael knows what a great room-jarring laugh he had. He was your best audience for anything remotely funny.
