It was gutsy. There's another word I could use for that, but it's gutsy to come down and have the patience and the presence to pull off a move like that on Dom.
These European teams are well-oiled machines. They get up by a goal, and it's lockdown time.
Just simple stuff, little 5-foot passes, simple passes, we were just missing them.
Personally, I think he's the real deal. I've skated with him and have seen what he can do. But it's hard where everywhere he goes there's a press conference. It would be good for people to let him be a kid in the league and be a rookie and let him adjust as he goes.
I think it's hard to project what a guy's going to do, one year out of college, one year in pro. It's a lot of pressure on a kid. But overall he's handled it extremely well.

He (Miller) is so mentally tough. Despite not having any NHL playoff games under his belt, he'll respond well.
I'm sure I'm not going to be sitting around, telling stories about it.
When I see a 240-pound guy diving around like a squirt after taking one of our guys' knees out? I don't feel too good. I kind of feel embarrassed for him, actually.
Those were some tough losses. Responding to them was a pretty big step for our team confidence-wise.
We were down, 2-0, on the road, but we still seem to find a way. It's been amazing.
This was a good game on our part in the desperate part of the game.
