We didn't like the way we woke up this morning and saw they had jumped ahead of us. That's what makes these back-to-backs so much fun is if you lose, you get a chance to get right back at it.
black dreamt everybody growing kids mean player players team trying
Being the only black player on my team growing up, I dreamt just like everybody else to be in the NHL, ... When I would say it, some other kids -- not trying to be mean -- (said) 'There are not that many black players in the NHL. What are the chances?'

I've never been part of such a quick goal from the start of the period. I've seen it a few times by other teams watching on TV and stuff. Seeing it go in was definitely a good feeling.
