I was basically in the room, and they told me to get out there. It's tough, but I have to be ready.

They basically told me I have the right to be more vocal, you have the right to push everybody else when some guys are slacking off some days. They want me to do a better job of getting on them and demanding the best of them, because that's what all the great players do, they demand the best out of their teammates, and make everybody better.

That's cool (to help clinch a playoff spot). But it's also tough because Tomas has been here all year. There were a lot of nights that he single-handedly won us hockey games and put us in this position.

I knew coming over here, it was going to be tough. He (Woodley) does a good job with them defensively. They run their sets well.

Any back-to-back is tough, but especially against a team like Vancouver. Even though they've been losing, they've been scoring a lot of goals and just coming out on the short end of the stick.

I told the guys in the locker room that I was proud of them. This was a tough game. I like this team because they don't give up. The results just haven't gone our way.
