When he's on the ice, for the most part he controls play. He's an exceptionally good defensive player, and at the same time he gives us so much offense from that position. He's a terrific captain.

Any time you can get one of your regular veteran players back in the lineup, it's bound to help. Especially at that crucial position.

anytime difficult eliminated fought great hard move ourselves position prolong second seen team throughout
We fought very hard to put ourselves in position to get the second seed, and to not be able to move on and prolong our postseason play is disappointing. Anytime you're eliminated before you want to, it's difficult. But with this team, it's especially difficult considering some of the great play we've seen from this team throughout the year.
