Getting the puck out of our own end is a victory right now.
If anyone from my team deserves to go, he's the guy,

Some nights the game is easy and many nights you wonder what's going on.
Milestones you look back on later in your career,
My job is to make sure we keep performing.
I feel like I'm skating and all that, but I feel the timing is not there. I certainly don't have the goals (four in 17 games) that I want.
We got an experienced team this time around.
We gave ourselves a chance to tie the game up right until the last couple of minutes. Sometimes you come up on the short side of things.
We're part of a generation of players where there was a lot expected and we never delivered. This is very special.

We all want to compete for a championship. We all know that the real season starts next week.
We all thought that was in the net.
