I'm just happy. Having a child in October and after our season ended early in January, this was a nice opportunity to keep the season going.

Kate and I have been longtime teammates (with King). It's nice to reunite this year, but kinda sad we couldn't play together longer. Mixed is a different atmosphere. Katie and I notice there's a lot of laughs out there.

This is our busy season - the first of October to the end of January. We're really focused on keeping the business up and running, and making sure that we don't lose a call.

We had a very snowy early January (2005), and that ended up being very problematic for casinos in the northern tier ...

You always need to get an early goal. We came here pre-season, scored early on, and it ended up being five or six. We always knew it would be a hard tie coming to a place like this.

(Elliott) demonstrated tonight how he got those numbers early in the season. It was nice to see that for him.
