closing firm happened puck struggled teams turned whatever
I just think it's one of those years. For whatever reason, we've struggled closing teams out. The same thing happened (Wednesday night). We turned the puck over, and it's in our net. You've got to be firm with the puck.

A couple times I've played on three teams in three months. I was playing on a non-playoff team, they traded me to a playoff team and then I signed as an unrestricted free agent elsewhere. . . . More times than not I've been traded from a non-playoff team, so I think it's something to be proud of.
