I think it was just a tough game. I really don't think either team came out and played as well as they could. That kind of showed because it was kind of a messy, ugly game.

It's great to come here where I got to win a championship and where there were so many great memories. That makes these wins even more satisfying.

(Erik) Reitz drew their guy in down low and that allowed me to get into a spot where I was able to get a good shot away. I don't know if we exactly turned things on (in the third period), but there were more penalties called and we took advantage.

I deserved those penalties, but sometimes you try to be proactive. It didn't work.

I'm smart enough, I'm not just some gladiator or some moron who's going to do something stupid. I definitely take care of my body. I want to still be able to walk my kids to school when I'm not playing football. I'm always going to be smart about it.
