We've been playing well in the east. We've been playing this way the last little while.

We're pragmatic. We are realistic. We understand the whole concept of playing in the American League East, but that does not mean we bow down or be anybody's doormat. You don't have to do any of that. We're coming to play to win every game, every night. That is our goal.

I think you've still got to get through East, but North's been playing as well as anybody. It's a tough task this year.

From Day 1, I just played real well with Cheech. You don't plan for something like this. These two awards are definitely team-oriented, and we're just happy for each other.

We have bigger and better things to look forward to: the Stanley Cup Finals.
