I knew what I was going for, right when the whistle blew; I put the ball down and knew I was going to score. I got the ball and put it down as fast as I could and I heard all the commotion going around. I stayed focused and the goalie guessed right. But I put enough on it to slip it by.

I knew where I was going before (I took the shot). Right when the whistle blew, I knew that it was going to be a goal. I got the ball, put it down as fast as I could and I heard commotion going on all around. I just stayed focused and new where I was going. The goalie got straight, but I put enough on it to slip it by.

All the credit goes to (Card). I just looked up, (Card) checked off the forward and backs real well. He turned, and just put the burners on past (the defenders).

It was a lot of hard work, this team is founded on hard work, first and foremost. We battle and get through games by working hard.

I'm feeling more comfortable, more confident, ... I'm just feeling real good on the ice right now and the puck is finding me.

That was the game right there. We did a good job of closing out the half. We did a better job on the glass, got to some loose balls and hit the open shots.
