came dressing focus guy leader room three
The way he came back, it was unbelievable. That's all I can say about him. His focus was right on the game. It was a way for him to get away from it all, even if it's for three hours. The guy is the leader in this dressing room and has been an important player.

We were only up 3-2 at the time. He didn't set a good precedent for his teammates. He's one of their skill players, a leader in that dressing room, and taking a penalty like that, it puts them behind the 8-ball. You don't see a guy like Daniel Alfredsson doing that, you know - that's a good leader.
