I think we needed that. We were just playing with them the whole game, we had to break away at some point.

When we're playing well together we just want to keep getting the ball. You just keep feeding off it. We learned how well we can play, we just can't settle for anything less in the future.

I am confident. I think the Rangers are playing a speed game. They can skate with any team in the league. If they bring their 'A' game and pull up their boots, they can give any team a run for their money. The past five games? I think it's just a combination of injuries and the coaching staff testing the depth by bringing up guys from Hartford.

We were tired. I didn't think we needed to stifle their momentum as much as we needed a break. We just ran out of gas down the stretch.

I think CD is like the glue that keeps it all together. She?s the one that makes sure everybody listens and does everything right. She keeps coach in check, she?s the one that keeps everything organized. She?s like our mom. Without her, I think we would be lost.

It’s something that I have been blessed with in terms of playing the game and being able to understand the game. Not being able to exercise that gift while I was out of the game, I really found a void in myself and a hole in my soul. I said the biggest problem that I have had in that time was that I woke up and I didn’t go to the gym. I have been successful in a lot of other areas but not having the ability to exercise the greatest gift that I have, which is basketball, you know I have missed it.
