It's frustrating to get 50 shots on goal, with just one power play, and not win the game.

It's exciting, because if I go down there and play well, hopefully it will open up a lot of doors. I'm hoping to make a strong showing. And it's especially good to go down relaxed, show them what I can do, and not have to worry about coming in and messing anything up with a team's chemistry that's in the playoffs.

They really stepped it up in the second period. We could have laid down and let them keep their comeback coming, but we weren't going to. The third period is our best period.

They're going to pick me up Saturday and I'm going to pick them up Sunday. I just wish it could have been handled differently, but we have to move on. I have to pay the consequences for not going to class.

It's hard. There's nothing I want more than to be on the ice with them. Basically I made a mistake and have to pay the consequences. I've got to handle it like a man.

He wins all the one-on-one battles for the puck. He makes you want to go out there and compete just as hard.
