This is L.A., and people usually leave early, but everybody was still there. I can't believe they stayed all the way to the end like that, with the traffic in L.A. It was the first time I've seen that, and it was very overwhelming.

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.

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.

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).

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.
