We're glad we have another chance to play. We think we should have gotten a little higher seed. We didn't. We just have to go out and enjoy it and have fun. Maybe this is finally a chance for us to get a little respect.
He had the injury and I think he was hesitant to do what he did before. It was kind of tough.
My influences are Priest Holmes and Walter Payton,
I know I'm going to get a good opportunity to get some minutes, get some playing time, so I just want to do what I can to get as much ice time as I can. I don't think it's going to be any easier or anything like that. I know if I don't do my job, I know someone else will be in my spot to do that. I don't want to give that up.
Just trying to sneak down the boards on the power play, ... Hank (Zetterberg) made a great pass and I just tried to get it on goal up high.

He's a very intense guy, ... But he's very professional, too. You know where you stand with him. He likes to be prepared. If you're not prepared, he'll blame himself. And he prides himself on his team doing the little things and having that strong work ethic.

A break here or there, we had our chances to score. Those breaks were going in for us the last few games. We can learn from this and move on.
It's supposed to come in on Saturday, whatever, but it doesn't matter. If it comes in early, like a little bit, we could be stranded there. I was talking to my parents last night, joking around with them, but they were like, don't joke about that, it's not funny.
I don't know if I'm 100 percent comfortable yet playing with these guys, ... But each game, I just try to get better.
