If someone had told me that with seven games left we would be the number one team in the country, I obviously would've been very happy. That would mean our plan and the execution of our plan was working.

If I was a betting man, which I'm not, I would say that's probably a good assumption. Right now, we're just focusing on (tonight). We'll worry about Saturday when it comes.

It was really kind of the same story, 10 years later.

He's had a great season. It seems like if there's a big play to be made, Andy makes it. He's assisted on a winning or tying goal 16 times this season. That's an amazing stat, and tells you what he means to our team.

It doesn't matter who's getting the points. Every game, it's someone different contributing. I don't think I've been with a team that is close as this one. There are no big egos.

The fans have been just unbelievable, filling the building every game. It's loud, and that gives us a big home-rink advantage. Our players feed off it.
