They said, 'If you don't want to play, we completely understand. There'll be a lot of pressure, but it's totally up to you. I said, 'I'm going to do it. I want to. I have to get through it somehow.' So I played.

It's going well, we want to play together and we show that on the ice right now. We have good chemistry, can read each other well and it shows. And Danny being back, he's a goal scorer, and he spreads the scoring out even more now for us.

I'm so excited. I can't stop smiling.

We wanted to serve well and we wanted to pass well. Our passing wasn't up to par, but our serving saved us. We served to the corners and aggressively like (coach) Laurie (Glass) told us to. That's what we wanted to do, serve aggressively and get them in.

We wanted to play four quarters of basketball and I thought the effort was there.

We had control of the game right from the beginning, and they just weren't ready to play tonight, and we took advantage of it. Usually in those cases we let up, but tonight we played 60 minutes.
