I wanted to play my last game here and I was hoping for a repeat of last year when I shut out Everett to end the year. It didn't work out that way, but we got the win.

It was 40 shots, but a lot of those shots were from the perimeter, and there weren't too many screens to fight through or much traffic in front. (Facing) 40 shots isn't bad if they're all from the outside. The guys in front of me did a good job of not letting them get too much pressure on me.

The guys did a great job defensively. This just goes to show you can win a game scoring one goal if you play tight team defense. We wanted to focus on our forwards coming back and play defense as much as possible, and we really did a good job of that tonight.

I'd rather get the two points. They made it closer than I liked, but our guys were up to the task.

I've tried meditation and it feels like I'm wasting my time. This is meditative and relaxing but I produce something out of it.

We're playing smart hockey. You don't want to be sitting back and letting the other team pressure you when you have a lead.
