I probably give him more leeway out of the net than those pros had. He shoots the puck better than any of those guys, by far, at this stage of his career.

They have a lot of superstars and they can put the puck in the net and create a lot of scoring chances. But Nabokov and our defense kept holding, kept holding, and we finally got a chance on the power play.

There were times we could have put on the puck on the net a little bit more, but we were looking for the perfect play.

You have to put the puck in the back of the net. It's not good enough to be getting good chances.

He made some good plays out there and got the puck to the net.

It's exciting for the kids who are coming in next year because they feel part of the program already. And the players we're recruiting for a year or two down the road will look at us very seriously.
