We really stepped up in the third. It felt good to help contribute and its fun playing on this team.

He plays with a tremendous amount of joy. He's like a little kid in a goalie outfit, just playing because he loves to. You'd rip one, and he'd stop it in practice and then he'd just smile at you.

When you looked at all those guys and their long-term potential, I always thought Kipper was the one.

There hasn't been any movement so far, but this could be the calm before the storm. Everyone wonders what's happening around deadline time. Not too many guys are safe. You think about it. No use lying about that. But there's nothing you can do as a player because you're not the boss.

Having him around is so much fun. He knows exactly how to help you, no matter what you are struggling with. He's an amazing coach. When dad speaks, everybody listens.

It's always fun to come out here and perform. We'll help the young guys out. It's going to be everybody's job to keep them focused.
