We're battling now. Before we were getting a little nervous as the game went on when it was tight. Now we're playing with a lot more poise with the puck. It's a sign our confidence is getting better.

I had an angle to shoot. If you see the replay I think you'll see that Gary [Roberts] did a great job of screening Theodore out. He didn't see it that well. It was a good screen and I was fortunate to get it inside.

We're just not crisp, not executing properly. We've talked about it and worked on it. There's no excuse.

It's tough, because you get excited after these wins, then you get a little demoralized when the other teams win on the other nights. But we can only control what we can do here, and we've been doing a good job with that.

We've had some injuries, and then (Jan. 19) we lose a guy like Gary (Roberts), that was a real critical juncture of our season. It could've been a time where we hung our heads a little.

Any time you get a goal early it really lifts the team, especially on the road. Tonight was a good start for us.
