These are tougher. We're in (the games) and we know we should win them. We've got the people and opportunities to win them. We just need to come through.

They said I was right on the line with the foot that was in, so they called me out. I thought it was pretty close myself. It was a judgment call on their part. I guess he made the right call.

It was a perfect ball. He just dropped it right in over the top of the safety. You couldn't ask for a better ball from Sanchez.

Bobby did a great job of stepping up and filling in for Mike (Hanson) when he got hurt. He made some great plays and helped us out a lot.

It means a lot to win six games in a row. We can compete with the best teams in the league. I think we are a playoff hockey team. We proved over the last six games that we can play with anybody.

We've won a lot of games before, so you don't want to get really excited about a first win. But it's hard to not be excited when your first win comes 13 games into the season, after Christmas. This is what we want to use as a springboard as we get hot and heavy into conference play.
