"About the time. I knew my record against them since I left Calgary. It's not great... well, it was terrible. So I'm glad I finally got a win against them. He was 0-4-2 w/a 4.02 GAA and an .851 save percentage."
"Not really much was going through my mind. Just be there for the boys. They've done a great job for me, so I just wanted to be there for them and do what I have to do to get us two points."
"They made a lot of changes. They're still good players and they can make plays. But we did a really good job taking care of our zone."
"At this time of the year, it doesn't matter who you play. You just want to win. Our division and the whole conference is tight, so every point matters."
