He dove into the net for it. It was pretty cool. We've just seemed to connect since he's gotten here. It was nice for him to get an assist on it, too.

It's a hockey-rich town there, and everybody lives hockey. When they go hunting now they even take a generator, a TV and a satellite dish out there so they can watch the playoff games.
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).

He's a great player. I've watched him since '94, I guess. He's always been one of the best players in the league, so I got lucky to get ahead of him.

In the new NHL you've got to always keep pouring it on, you can't take any shifts off because you don't know when they're going to get a bounce or a call.

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.

He was just trying to get the goalie to maybe bite a little on his move. He froze him enough to give me time to put it upstairs.

It's a good thing. I was pretty excited. I never expected anything like this coming in. I just wanted to be at this level, contribute and anything I get on the side is just a bonus.
anytime crowd gets gives heels jump kinda
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.
calls ourselves position taking
We were undisciplined. The calls were pretty much one-sided, but we put ourselves in that position by taking those penalties.
limit match score stingy
We know how they play, they're very stingy defensively. We're just going to have to match that. We have to limit their chances, try not to give them any odd-man chances, and score when we get the opportunities.
