In our game, every now and then we get very lucky that we get a true superstar, great team leader and great person -- and he's that guy,

He was an exceptional leader who was unselfish, hardworking and dedicated. He truly loved the game. He was the best player I ever played with.

It was a hard fought game, our guys played a tough game. They're a team that plays really hard and our guys really came to work tonight.

I missed the game,

We got a little bit lucky. It's hard to keep all of your good, young defensemen. He's a tremendous young man who works hard every single game, every single practice. He never cheats in one drill, and that's how he plays.

We didn't take advantage of a 5-on-3 against a good team. We have to at least get a shot on net. That was pathetic.
