They kept taking that lead back but we said (goalie Mathieu Garon) is going to shut the door and we've just got to move forward.

A wake-up call, sometimes it's needed. Andy was here a long time. If we didn't make the playoffs, there was going to be changes - players, personnel, everybody.

Off the ice? He's just one of the guys you enjoy being around. He's a good friend. He would do anything for you. He would do anything for this game.
