It was just the first period but it could've helped us. It could've changed the course of the game.

I knew it was going to be for a couple of weeks and that's what it's been. I missed about 10 months before that. This was quick.

The fourth win is the toughest. We just have to keep going the way we've been going.

I'm more nervous than excited, actually. I felt okay the past couple of days, no pain, no problem. I feel good conditioning-wise and hockey-wise. It's going to take awhile. I'm a little too quick for my hands right now. My hands are not that good.
