The last two weeks, I think I've been as hot as ever since I've been in pro hockey. It's nice to reach that total. Hopefully I can beat it in the next couple of days and, in doing so, get us some more wins and maybe sneak into that eighth spot.

Alex and I clicked right off the bat in training camp, so it's no surprise.

This is my natural position and I feel I'm a lot more involved in the play.

You can say we played better, but when you still lose it is not fun. We can't get down on ourselves. We have to turn this thing around.

You could say, yeah, if we had them, we would be in the playoffs and things would be different, but you never know. Decisions were made and we had the guys in here to do the job.

It's frustrating. It's not fun, but we can't get down on ourselves. We have to turn this thing around somehow.

We seem to be creating a lot of odd-man rushes. We're killing a penalty, but we seem to be jumping into the play and doing things like blocking shots to create a 2-on-1. We seem to be able to score and we're finishing those chances and I can't really explain why.

When you go down like that, it sucks.

We can't take penalties early in the games if we're not going to be able to kill them. We shot ourselves in the foot tonight.

We owe those guys. They've taken seven games from us this year. We want to prove to them that we can beat them. If we do that and we have the confidence to do that we'll show that if we get into the playoffs, look out, we can beat anybody.
