It's more gratifying to do things that help the team win. Personally it feels good, but at the same time it's a team game. To be able to do your job is gratifying. To be able to do things to help the team win is gratifying. I was able to do that tonight.

It's more fun in the locker room after you win. It's more fun when you go out on a Saturday night after you win. It's a better week of practice after you win. I hate losing. Winning feels so much better.

guy injuries lose net puck rely step tough year
It's tough to lose a guy like (Stafford). We rely on him to put the puck in the net and get points. But we've had injuries this year before, and we're going to find a way to get through it. Someone else is going to have to step up and put some pucks in for him.

call job
It's not my job (to call plays). I just do what I'm told.

It's not like we weren't prepared for them. We played a triangle-and-two on them in the first half.
