We're at 73 points now and if in 25 games we can tack on at least 30, maybe 32 or 34, that puts us at 103 to 107. That should be pretty good.

We came out pretty good and tried to establish a physical presence. It's one of those games we had a chance to go up two goals, but didn't do it. It's frustrating.

Old times. Just messing around. I think he was a little upset so I had to try to put a smile on his face.

It went quick, it was like a wedding day. It just blew by.

With the year off and just getting back into it, you're more susceptible, your body's not as hard as it usually is. You got to develop some of those calluses again, that pain tolerance. But everybody's got to go through it. It happens. For me, it's inevitable -- it's just the way that I play -- that I'm going to get banged up.

It's not like a lull. It's just the way the game is. You're not going to win every game and have a little letdown but the difference between good teams and bad teams is how quickly you get out of it, how quickly you regroup and realize you're in a slide and get back on the ball before it goes on.
