I'm kind of disappointed about it. I don't worry about the points much, (more about) ice time and what I can create in the offensive zone. I'm just getting used to it right now. I've got my confidence up.

Intensity, that's huge in a playoff game. Without intensity, you won't go anywhere.

Personally, I like what they ask me to do. I like going into the corners and finishing my checks every day. I?d like to keep it simple. After Christmas, it?s come to me what this team expects from me and what I should do if I want to get to the next level.

It will be a nice, little Christmas, just the four of us. We just got the tree up and the decorations (Thursday) night.

I'm a real dumb-dumb in real life. I'm just book smart. But definitely not street smart. The other day I lost my jacket in a cab. And I'll forget things every time I leave the house.

The only thing you have to worry about is two or three inches in a short amount of time, other than that the dam should be allowed to release that, they open it as much as they can.
