I'm happy to be back here, injury-free and winning.

I'm disappointed at not winning, although I was running against some good athletes.

It's been a long road back and there is more work to do yet, but I am heading in the right direction. I took nearly half a second off my season's best today and that was after possibly going out too quickly - so I am encouraged.

I think it blew away the cobwebs.

Things are going great. Winning hockey games makes a lot of people look smarter. We're happy with how things have gone, and we expect the remainder of the season is going to be a very strong finish for us based on how we're tracking right now.

I told the kids that we have been winning, and maybe we needed a little fire under us. We need to get refocused.
