I think (the players) believed last year they had the ability. It wasn't ability last year that kept them from winning, but mostly off-the-field issues that just hammered on us. It wasn't good.

The team understands and knows how difficult the next two weeks will be. We're very honest about how difficult the next five games. But we got a ton of confidence last night that we haven't had.

Scoring 10 goals in a game, I don't know if we've ever done that.

It is great to get a win like this to start the season after last year's disaster. The team has grown up from last year.

The key for me is to use my skating ability. He made a very good move, and luckily I ended up being able to fall on the puck. It was one of those saves where you might not get it many times. I guess it was kind of a lucky save.

With all the young talented arms they have, Toronto has the ability to even make trades to fill in the key roles they're missing in the big leagues.
