The good thing is, I had the whole net to shoot at. I was starting to wonder what it was going to take and I didn't like having that goose egg next to my name. If I had missed that one, I really would have had problems.

The major reaction when EA announced their exclusive deal in December was, 'God, this is a huge loss, not just for sports games but for the industry in general,'

If you look at the guys that are injured, that's a lot of firepower, a lot of points we're missing. A lot of nights, their talent just takes over and gets you goals. That's why we had to be smarter about not giving up as many chances.

It was a great passing game for us,

It's huge. Obviously, I'm the last guy with the big goose egg, and it seemed like it was getting talked about more and more. ... It's nice to not have a zero sitting there.

It's better already. I should be okay for Game 5.

It's definitely different, ... All the mud and the water and the obstacles, it makes you not feel the pain of running. Well, you still feel the pain, but it's more fun.

(The NHL is) trying to create more excitement around the games u not that we need that (against the Leafs), but it's definitely exciting.

It's a little sad. I'm proud to have been able to bring something like that to the area. To leave it when it's finally becoming quite popular is a little odd and a little unusual. But it's something that needs to be done. The opportunity that has come about is just way too attractive.

It's a short tournament. If you don't have it, you don't have much time to find it.
