I don't think it's such a huge difference. It's good for them that they've already played on the big [international] ice, which is probably the biggest difference.

I just came to tell him something because I already had the puck in my glove and he slashed me. I came behind the net and he punched me, so he caught me by surprise. But I didn't want to fight. We were short-handed.

We played a really strong defensive game. The 5-on-3s were the key. We killed them off and that was important for our success.

I'm feeling good. I've been getting ready for this. I was on the ice until last March and I was on the ice for about 10 days before I came here. There are no doubts this time.

I don't know if he surprised me. I made a butterfly. I went down. He shot top shelf, my glove wasn't there. It was a goal scorer move.

I don't think there was any extra motivation, ... It's my first win here, but it's only preseason.
