It was such a great experience. It was a great event. The hockey was really good. The fans, the atmosphere in Switzerland is amazing.

We were talking about, in the room, worrying about our game as a team. After you clinch a (East) division title it's one thing to let up as a team, but the sign of a true, I guess contending team, is making a run at the conference. Instead of being satisfied with a win last night we want to chase the next best thing.

You have to be tough and mentally overcome that.

Coming home you would like to get a win in front of friends and family, and especially for the team.

The tournament was just a real breath of fresh air. It was nice to play playoff hockey in December.

It's a good sign of the character of these kids. We're pretty pleased with that.
