There was still an angle there. I knew he was paying attention to the other side of the net. Joe made a great pass and I basically just tried to get it on net and get it up a bit where he'd have trouble controlling it.

Joe does a great job drawing double-teams and fighting off guys, and I just pick up the garbage in front. I just always play hard, and if it happens, it happens. ... It's amazing to play with him, and we're making up points against teams ahead of us in the standings.

That was nice. Anytime you can get and jump on them right away, and get a lead, kinda gets them back on their heels and gives us some momentum, and gets the crowd into it.

It doesn't really matter how many, just as long as they go in and we win.

We wanted to get the puck in deep because their defense is a little slower and smaller than they have been in the past. Everybody stuck to it and we got a good effort.

We got on a roll in December, and we've just been feeding on that and carrying over. We're going into the playoffs playing really good hockey, and hopefully we'll get to play Nashville.
