We got off to a rough start in New York where I wasn't playing too much. Going to Washington I was having fun playing hockey again but got hurt. I got traded to L.A. and everything was a downward spiral.

My job is to get open ... hit the holes, the quiet areas and lull them to sleep. But you can't do that unless you're playing with two guys that are great with the puck.

A spot was available here on the right wing, so I'm hoping I can slide in and contribute as best I can. The fact that I'm playing in a Canadian market, the beauty of Vancouver with its incredible weather and things to do, that's just icing on the cake.

There was a little bit of room on the short side but I had to make sure that (puck) landed flat and I didn't get too excited with attacking the puck too fast. But I have a lot of faith in Danny and Hank's passing ability and I knew if I could just get open they'd make great plays.

It was big. We let them hang around a little bit after being up by a few goals and we gave them a little bit of life. We got a little sloppy but we were able to drive the final nail in the coffin and that was a big turning point for us.
afford easy establish hungry players points record struggling taking themselves trying
We're a struggling team, too. We're not taking them for granted. They've got a lot of young hungry players trying to establish themselves in the NHL. These are two points we have to have. We can't afford to come in here and look at their record and think these are an easy two points.
