draws fighting front garbage great ice job pick sees soft spot
He draws a lot of double-teams, and he sees the ice so well. Basically, all you have to do is find a soft spot in the ice. He does a great job fighting off guys, and I just pick up the garbage in front of the net.

Kids in Moose Factory and kids around the whole area were amazed that I was playing at (the junior level).

I think the time in Cleveland helped him. It's tough to play there. It's a good development league, but it shows you what you have to do to get here.

The first couple of shifts we sustained pressure in their end, and had good control. When you spend that much time in their end, I think everybody gets a little more energized.

It's a nice feeling, not a lot of guys have reached it so it's pretty special. I've just got to thank my teammates for helping out so much this year. It's because of them I've reached it.
chance defense face fastest similar stop
They play a similar style. For us, we've got to get up in their face and stop them before they can get going. We're still probably the fastest team. We need to get our defense up in the play to snuff out their forwards so they don't get a chance to get out on the breaks.
everybody foot guess hit knew looked
I knew it hit my foot and I looked down at my skate. Everybody started celebrating so I knew something happened. I guess you get one of those every once in a while.

It's exciting. I've been close a couple times before. I figured eventually it might come if I got the bounces.

It was a nice feeling. Not a lot of guys have reached it so it's pretty special.

I never really imagined it, but it's amazing. A lot of guys who I have a lot of respect for when I was growing up have got their names on that trophy. It's still sinking in.
