With the year off, I think most guys were excited to get going, but coming to Ottawa, a new place, made me even more excited.

I'm a big fan of it. It might not be fair, but whoever is in the shootout are guys who can put the puck in the net, so chances are if there was a big goal, one of them might get it anyway.

It's a great feeling definitely to do it here but in regards to playing those guys, I'm just happy we got the win.

Other teams were starting to close the gap so we got those big two points. Now the guys are going over (to Turin) and are going to play in the Olympics and the other guys are going to get a break and we'll get going again after.

I think the power play is trying to do too much. It's been like that a while and I think as a group we need to communicate better.

I think they'll be pretty good to me. They were always good to me in the past.
