Playing with Stevie, he might not be able to do as much as he could back in the day when he could skate a lot better, but there's a reason he's one of the greatest. He's so smart and he makes those right plays and it makes it easy for a guy like me to play with him.
Obviously, you remember what happen because this was the makeup game. Everybody knows Jiri is all right now, and we're glad he's OK. Everybody tries to put it in the back of their minds, but I'm sure some guys though about it.
We let those guys get back in the game a little bit. We have to play together for 48 minutes.
I have to be ready to take them (jumpers) when I'm open and when those guys double Shaq, he kicks it out and I take the shot.
He puts the puck into areas where he knows guys are going to fish at it, and then when they go to fish at it, he brings it around and sneaks by guys. He uses his body well to protect the puck and then he rolls off of guys very well, makes tight turns, and takes it to the net. That creates a lot of room for other guys on his line, because if you beat a guy towards the net, sometimes another guy is going to challenge, and once that guy challenges, something else opens up.
They've just gotten better and better every year. They've drafted real well, and those young guys are developing into good players.
It just made me feel so good, knowing that these guys down here wanted me to come here and Shaq wanted me to play with him.
Our first priority is to go out and win here. We want to finish up the regular season on a good note, get that second seed and get ready for the tournament.
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.

It always kind of starts bothering me around the middle of the third quarter.
Sure, we wanted to make it to the (NCAA) tournament. But this is a chance to go out and have another game. As a senior, you want that opportunity. We just want to make the most of it and play as many more games as we can.
State regulations require archeology involvement when digging in sensitive areas, but Gene's contribution goes above and beyond. He's taken such a personal interest in the history here and brought it to the attention of the Historical Society and the city,
I was trying to protect the puck and he stole it off me. I have to be stronger there, I have to make a play, that turnover cost us a goal.
