Mike has been stressing driving to the net, ... Usually, he wants at least one guy driving to the net - and on that play we had all three. It was kind of a lucky play, where the Kings ' defenseman got a piece of the puck, but not all of it, and I happened to be in the right spot.
goal greatest helped historic learning level practice pure sad watching
It is a sad day for hockey. It is a historic day, actually. He was one of the greatest pure goal scorers of all-time. He helped me a lot when I went to St. Louis, when I was about 21-years-old. He helped me get to another level just watching him in practice and learning from him in games.

feels happy high left season seen teams
It feels early. We are happy with the start, but we know there is a lot of season left and a lot of teams we haven't seen yet. We are not getting too high on this.
