I think that's the ultimate individual honor. If you're lucky enough to stay with one team, that's awesome.

We may be back together. Who knows? We may not be. The team is doing well right now.

I got a pretty good check on that guy, and he lost control of the puck.
afraid coming few guy happy side
He was just huge. I was afraid of him. You had a 170-pound guy coming here and he was 220, 225 with these paws like a bear. I was pretty intimidated the first few years. I'm happy he was on my side the whole time.

He didn't have to say that. We all knew what the score was. We all knew what was still on the line and every one of us tried to encourage each other here. Let's give 100 percent and we'll see where we end up.

He doesn't talk much on the bench. And he's pretty positive. But then he'll tell you privately, unless he needs to get the team going. Then he tells you in front of everybody.

It helps that they're going well. We were making good plays, spreading the ice pretty well. I didn't want to hold back. I told the coaches that when I come back I want to play, I don't just want to go out there and play a couple of shifts and try to work into it.

The feeling in this thing is that when we play our game and we are on top of our game we can beat anybody. And that's a good feeling to have.

I haven't skated in almost two weeks, so I need to get back in shape a little bit.

I'm very happy where I'm at right now.
