I'm not a guy that looks at the big picture that often. If I start thinking about it, this could be an awesome opportunity for me. But I think it's a lot better for me and the team if I look at it one game at a time. There are a lot of things you can't control.
They got a good team. We got ahead with our special teams at the start of the game and from then on it was a battle both ways.
Better than being complacent. It's a fresh start for us. You can see that in the boys ... it's an opportunity to put ourselves in a good position going into the playoffs.
The boys actually got a bit more talkative between the second and third. It was pretty quiet at the start and then the guys started saying, 'We've got to do this,' and, 'We've got to start playing with a bit more desperation.' It was exciting to see it because we talked about it and we actually went out and did it.
Starting out, you just want to make a good impression and play your best,
(The shutout) is exciting too because I haven't had one in a long time. We played really well and buried some chances we had and limited their scoring chances. I just want to win games and hopefully I'll get more opportunities to do so.

It sure will be nice to get back to our own beds for a few nights.
I just kept sliding back into the net. You squeeze your knees to try and stop and brace yourself. It's frustrating.
I'm assuming they haven't played every period like that this year. They were flying. They definitely sent a message.
I squeezed my legs together and I could feel the puck there, but my momentum took me back into the net. I tried to pop it out, but I guess I crossed the line with my knees.
By their reaction and the referee calling it right away, I thought it was in. I'll take it. It's a good bounce, for sure. Luck was on our side tonight.
I don't want to get ahead of myself. I'm excited to get a chance to play, but I'm taking it one step at a time.
It just kind of worked out that over the course of the past three years, I played a couple of games here and there and I had a great team in front of me all the time so I reeled off nine kind of without recognizing it until the end of it,
