We kept it simple early, played our cycle game and got to the net. That's our style, and if we don't do it, we're not going to be successful. Now we have to do the same Saturday.

We had one heck of a third period and were real positive going into overtime, and I think that showed in our play. Then we had a goal scored against us, which is a downer. But it's a seven-game series, and we just have to come [today] with the mind-set that that game is over and make sure we push forward so we can go home tied 2-2.

We knew coming into this weekend we needed all the points we can get. We tied Manchester and we're trying to creep up on Portland. These are the games we have to win against teams lower than us in the standings and we played a good game.

My piece is definitely neo-classical, it very much recalls Stravinsky and others of that style, which is one of the reasons I think it fit for the program. The dance-like rhythms from the Boyce and Albinoni, you'll hear in my piece, just with a bit wider harmonic palette.

I try to absorb all types of style and design. I don't try and restrict my thinking. I enjoy the old and the new. You need that broad perspective to create something different.

Whether you're a newspaper journalist, a lawyer, a doctor. You have to organize your thoughts.
