I didn't anticipate anything I was just showing up and seeing what the town and people were about, but it was a very welcoming sight. I'm sure the energy and excitement in town are going to rub off on the players. It's nice to see everybody's so excited about getting hockey started.
That was a nice goal. I don't know why he fell over. But he did a good job of putting it in.
I was anxious to get started. There was so much anti-cipation. I wanted to get in the routine of playing games. It was just nice to be on a team, not competing against these guys in camp (but) trying to work together to win.

He's been a positive ever since he got here. He had a couple nice hits the last couple games. He's not the biggest guy, but he plays big and he has a big heart. That's important on any team and he's got to keep doing that. He's been great for us.
He went hard to the net and that's what you have to do to score. It's nice to see a guy like that get a goal when he has a chance to play on the top line.
I wasn't going to pass up a shot that late in a game. I wanted to make sure I gave it my best shot. It was nice to win it.
It would be nice to win it, but it's not on my mind a lot.
But, to me, if I had 97 points or 93 after tonight, it's not a big difference. It would be nice to get that, but we'll see what happens. I don't think my mindset will change after tonight.
It's nice to set up guys and give them empty nets and stuff, but these D are good. I have to make sure that I use shooting as an option more.
Anytime you play hockey, you want to play with momentum. I think a lot of guys will tell you it's much nicer to play with a lead than it is to always be chasing.
It's an historic place, ... The atmosphere here ... it's always a challenge to play here so it was nice to get one.
It's going to be nice just to talk to him and talk about some hockey things. It's been busy, with the lottery and the draft, and I just want to get started and see what the level of play is like and get out there and push myself and get ready for the season.
