He may be a rookie, but he looks like a 10-year veteran to me. You hear things about people before you see them. You have to see them [to see if it's true], and what I've heard so far seems to be true.

There was nothing to prevent the last goal. I played it perfectly. I read the pass for the one-timer and came across perfectly. It's frustrating to sit here and talk about it. We got a big point. It's frustrating, but there was nothing I could have done differently.

I'm speechless. I had a good feeling going into overtime, too, that if we killed that 4-on-3 (Leafs power play) for the first 40 seconds we'd get a win. Even going to a shootout I felt my chances were pretty good. We lost in a tough way. But it was a good game for me to build on. The next win will be even sweeter I guess.

I thought it was way over the net, and it kind of dropped. I heard it hit the cross bar, and I thought it was wide. And all of a sudden, it's in.

One thing I have noticed, it's going to help me a little bit. I feel like I am little quicker with thinner pads and smaller gloves.

There is a difference but I don't think it's going to be a big deal. I have been using the new equipment since the summer. I got used to it pretty well. It will be different, but we're all on the same playing field.
