Kipper is always one of the main reasons why we win hockey games.

It's his first National Hockey League playoff game and you're not playing him 12-15 minutes, you're playing him extensively. You talk with the other guys and ask them about their first playoff games and it's significant.

Our chances are greater, but we've still got to win the rest of our games. It was a big game, but it was another game.

This is where I am. My sole focus is helping this team win some hockey games. Once you get in the locker room you've got 20 guys all focused on the same thing.

I've played with him for eight years and a bit, and he helped me win a lot of hockey games with game-winning goals. Playing with him for that long and getting to see lots of his goals was a real pleasure.

I'd definitely like to be part of that offense. That's one of the main reasons I'd like to stay.
