She kind of acted like she didn't know. Some of us thought she needed 11.

It makes us want to keep going and do even better, to go as far as we can. We're not thinking about records, but it's nice.

The sad part is this could have happened to anyone of you guys and anyone of us because he was just driving down the road, that's all he was doing.

We haven't gotten off to good starts, so that's important for us to do in both games. We want to come home on a good, positive note. L.A. is struggling, but is still a good hockey team. And San Jose, with Thornton in the lineup, that makes them even more dangerous offensively. The good thing for us is we've seen Thornton a lot, so we know his strengths and weaknesses.

Ironically...at 300 takeoffs and landings a day, nobody asked us to ever do a tortoise check. But before I can clear a spaceship to land, I have to do a tortoise check of the primary runway.

She's been playing really well for us. She's getting more confidence shooting the puck, and as a defenseman that's how you get assists. We really need her to do that.
