He's 19 points ahead of the next closest guy on our team. He's able to create things from nothing on offense.
When you get a chance to play with him you know it's going to be creative, it's going to be fun. Nothing is better than that when you play hockey.
To get momentum like that is huge. We've got to find a way to keep it going. We've let it slip away too many times.
You grow up playing five games in three days in tournaments. It's like going back to peewee hockey again.
When we play as a team with five men, we're solid. It's when we get trying to do individual stuff that we really struggle.
We had some big goals to keep tying it up, but we needed to find a way to get that lift and to get the one to get the lead. We never managed to get the lead.
Tonight I think we picked up our desperation and urgency. We need to do that, or else we were going to be in trouble.
We can't stress enough the specialty teams and how important they are. If you want to win in the league now you have to have a good power play and then that's going to make it a lot easier.
Obviously you want to be on the team but there's at least 100 Canadian players that could easily be on that team. The group making the selections will have a tough decision on a lot of guys.
I was so excited and so honored to be named part of the team, and for that to happen, it blows my mind. I've done absolutely nothing (wrong), and I've had to defend myself through all of Canada.
Playing the spoiler for other teams is not fun because you'd rather be playing to get yourself into the playoffs. But I guess it's making the best of a bad situation.
That was huge. Johnny's one of those guys that you really cheer for because he does so much for us every night.
We just haven't played with enough urgency when we've played them.
He's a big man. You never want to be caught in his tracks.
