It goes way, way back when we were under Sweden's rule. We always think they are better than us. We played against them so often for so many years. Every country has one opponent they want to beat and for us, it's Sweden.

I haven't been back in Montreal, at all, since the playoffs ended two years ago. It's been a while.

I always knew where I was going eventually, so it helped me to stay at home for three years. It helped me to develop my game. But it also helped me off the ice. Life here is way different, and I was able to get older.

Right now, it seems that we're doing good things, the puck is bouncing for us and we're getting breaks like I did at the end of the game.

My relationship and the bond with the people in Montreal was kind of special and doesn't happen very often.

Obviously, that off-the-ice battle I went through, plus injuries I came back from, I always felt the fans are really knowledgeable there and respected and appreciated guys that gave whatever they had and guys that fought through things.
