I signed here and committed here for three years. This is where I wanted to play. But at the same time, I still feel I have more of what they're asking of me here.

It's tough to play 60 minutes and not win like we did in Game 1 (a 2-1 overtime loss). We didn't want to do the same thing tonight.

Randy showed us some of the penalties we took, and they were penalties. I can't fault the referees. I think they've done a great job.

We had been scoring quite a few goals (lately). Up until the last four or five games, this team had won mostly 3-1 and 2-1 kinds of games. Maybe this was a little reality check or cold water in the face, that we need to play a tighter system defensively and try to win the 2-1 games.

We're citizens. A lot of people don't realize once you become a citizen, there's still a lot of people out there [who are struggling].

This isn't the same team that people last saw, so there's definitely some benefits as far as the bonding and getting to know guys. A better comfort level.
