hoping rested
(The hip) just wasn't really getting any better. I rested it, hoping it was going to get better.
couple good guys last opinions paid team time watched
I watched the last couple days. It was good hockey. A lot of guys have their opinions about who should be on the team and who shouldn't. I have mine, some other guys have theirs. I get paid here, and I know what I have to do. I know I can do a lot more in the last 23 games, and it's time for me to play better.
forward looking
I'm going to be a little more in the spotlight, and I'm looking forward to it.
approach game happened playoff since single win
It's never happened in this organization since I've been here, so it's going to be a gut-check. We have to approach every game as if it was a playoff game and we need to win every single one of them.
against confidence easily last played rest solid successful tied
We played very solid after it was 3-0. We could have easily tied it up. If we play the rest of the way like we did the last 30 minutes, we're going to be successful against any team. It should be a confidence builder.

I'm starting to be a little older now and starting to have more of a bigger role on this team, and it's going to be up to me to step up. I'm not replacing Peter; nobody will replace Peter, but I want to bring a little more on the ice.

For us, it's a matter of getting ready for next Friday's or next Saturday's game and that's when the real season starts. We would have liked to have been higher in the standings but this is a new season that starts next week.
