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.
ice puck sooner time
I've been getting more and more ice time and more chances. Therefore, sooner or later, a puck is going to go in.
couple extra instead knew rather seen time took
I've seen this goalie a couple of times, and I knew he'd come out quick. I just took my time instead of going too fast. I knew on him I would rather take my time and give myself an extra option.

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.

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.

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.
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.

I call it a celebration. I mean, that's how I feel. It's been the greatest time in my life. I've been living my dream.

You can't afford to make costly mistakes. The games are going to get tighter and tighter the rest of the year.
