We've earned every ounce of this. We've had a few lucky bounces. A few teams that maybe should have been here aren't, but that's the tournament. ... To say that we've been lucky or had an easy road, well, what goes around comes around. We were given it and we took control of it.

Some nights you don't know how the puck goes in sometimes. Tonight we didn't know how it didn't go in sometimes. When you're playing a game like this, it's fun. Every time you get the puck, you think you can do something.

The outcomes have been really good. I just like playing here.

They came out and they were fading. I kind of gave a look to (Robbie) Earl, they both kind of collapsed and Tom was just sitting there.
