They don't know how long I'll be here, and I don't either. They're real busy. They didn't see me play at all last year. They just watch on the Internet [where all American Hockey League games are available]. That's about as close as they'll get to me.

The goal will be to play as hard as I can whenever I get out there. Playing well these two games will be beneficial.

We battled. We played better (Sunday) than we had in previous games in this building. They're playing the spoilers, and that's their motivation to beat any team trying to get in the playoffs.

My first three camps I never had a goal. Sometimes, you get nights where pucks sort of follow you around and everything you shoot goes in the net. I am not complaining. I am proud I had a decent start to the camp and hopefully I am making an impression.

It's a lot like last year, where everyone got along and we had good camaraderie and I think that's what's developing here. It may be a little late, but it's starting to feel like a real family now.
