It's huge. New Jersey is a lot different than the last time we played them, and it showed. We looked forward to (Sunday) as a challenge for us and we're certainly happy with what happened.

We gave ourselves a chance, but we just ran out of time.

You take penalties when you're reaching and out of position.

We opened the door for them, but it was a good sign that we kept the hinges on with good penalty-killing. Of course, Henrik is as good a penalty-killer as anyone.

It was an amazing, amazing experience. You could see to a person how much respect and appreciation these people have for a deserving player and person in Mark Messier. You could sort of feel the emotion in the building, so it was a tremendous experience.

Once we got back to our game, we were in control.
