We've played games like floor hockey. We've got to keep moving. If you don't, you have to run halls.

I've played with him for eight years and a bit, and he helped me win a lot of hockey games with game-winning goals. Playing with him for that long and getting to see lots of his goals was a real pleasure.

We were doing the things we were supposed to do. We were moving the ball up the floor, working our early offense . . . things just worked out for us.

We finally got to moving up and down the floor a little and with that we were able to get some easier baskets. We haven't been shooting well, and we had to try some things different to compensate for that.

He's an older guy who's played a lot of hockey in a lot of different leagues and for him to persevere and to be persistent with his career and strive to get to the NHL I think is a compliment to his character. He's certainly taken advantage of an opportunity and he has been a key ingredient in us having some success in the last few weeks.

It was a good up-and-down hockey game. Both goaltenders played very well, but we got a little careless with the puck in our own end and it cost us. I thought we had some great chances in overtime, but you have to take your hat off to Clarkson.
