It was so heart-wrenching when he talked about his son Hunter and raising $10 million for the foundation. He's an unbelievable guy and you really have to respect what he has accomplished.

It was electrifying. When we got the first goal, you couldn't even hear guys congratulating each other. It went on from there and you couldn't hear anybody at the end.

We have some good rookies here and they understand how good a shot we do have.

There was a different kind of pressure last year. We lost a game to Kitchener and people were saying, 'What's going on?' This year, we're more the underdog compared to last year and it would almost be a sweeter victory if we can do it.

There was a loss of firepower, a loss of penalty killing, a loss of leadership. Now, people have to step up, including myself.

They have a big team and they play well in their own arena. To win a game there, especially early in the series, is big.
