The first couple of shifts felt good. Obviously, we're going to use these games to get ourselves ready for the real thing. ... San Jose, to their credit, they're a quick team so it kept the tempo really up. You really have to skate and work hard to get back. ... But, overall, I think it was OK.

anyone believer chance change firm giving life microscope mistakes people ridiculed second sit tv
I'm a firm believer in second chances, and if we're going to go through life not giving anyone second chances, what kind of life are we going to have? People make mistakes in life. Unfortunately, I was under the microscope and on TV when my mistake happened, and if I'm going to sit here and keep getting ridiculed about it, how are we ever going to give someone a second chance to become better or to change situations?

I haven't been myself out there, ... I haven't been playing my game. Things happen, but good people get through tough situations. You got to keep climbing and keep building. The only thing you can really say is that we're winning. We got other guys doing the job while a couple of us are not on the top of our games. It's good to see because it shows how much depth we have on our team and how everyone is moving forward here.
