crowd falling feeling felt goal good great guy knew mike pass puck reaction stayed sticks
It was a great pass over two sticks by Mike Weaver. I got the puck on a breakaway, I felt the guy falling and I knew I had a good shot. I think the goalie was surprised, and he stayed deep. It was a great feeling because it put us up by a goal at the time. And then the reaction from the crowd and my teammates, it was overwhelming. What a moment.
believe best kings players team treats whoever
It's whoever makes the best decisions, character-wise, and the team that treats its players the best that's going to win. It's not about overspending anymore. That's why I believe (the Kings can win).
amazing bunch chances deep enjoyed felt game happy knew last nervous scoring special wish
It was a lot of fun. I do wish I would have scored on that shot, but it was a very special night. It was amazing how nervous I was at the beginning. I don't think I ever felt that way, but I knew down deep it was my last game here. I had a bunch of scoring chances and I enjoyed it. I'm real happy we won. What a way to go out.
amazing certainly cherish fun great happen memories nights special top win
It's certainly something I'll cherish forever. It was an amazing night. Nights like this are always fun when you win on top of it. I wanted it to happen earlier, but it was special to do it at home. I have so many great memories here.
guys owe team
I told (a team executive), 'You guys owe me big on this one. That's a lot of freakin' jerseys.
fun halfway hit morning ready realized
It really hit me this morning, in the morning skate, when I was getting myself ready to play. Halfway through, I realized it was my last. ... It was really fun to play this one.
brand extra fun gives guys learn line playing second starting together
We're a brand new line and we're just starting to learn each other, ... I think if we keep playing together like that, we're going to find each other on the ice. When you play with guys like that you know they can always make a play -- even if they're covered. So it's fun for a guy like me because it gives me an extra second to get open.
almost came saw
When I came in and saw what they did, it's almost embarrassing that they're making this about me.
given heck love sharks shocked
What the Sharks did, it shocked the heck out of me. We've always been rivals, but I think they know how much I love this game, and how much I've given to it.
attention details games knows mental mistakes pay team time work year
This is the time of year when you have to pay attention to details as a team, and right now we're not doing the little things right. Every team is going to play us hard, and every team knows we work hard. But it's mental mistakes that's costing us games right now.
believe career
This is where I started my career and this is where I believe I will end my career. This is where I belong. This is my home.
alone certainly hard hockey team
As a hockey player, you play for the team and for your teammates. You never play for yourself or think about yourself. This is not tennis, where you're alone on the court. Hockey is a team game, so this is very hard for me to handle. It certainly is overwhelming.
best definitely game gave guys last played thankful three tonight
Definitely you could tell tonight the guys wanted to win. That's probably the best game we've played in the last three weeks. We all gave it a little extra, and I'm thankful for that.
chance needed people
I think it was the right thing to do. We needed to get those people out of there and get them another chance in life.
