It's a good game tonight and a good start coming back. I started to feel comfortable; I didn't at first. Teammates kept helping me and lifting me up.

We got off to a good start in that game, ... We just kind of got too comfortable and let them back in it. Then we were like 'Hey, A&M. Not today.'

We did a lot of good things tonight. We've improved an awful lot since the first game of the season. We've got a long way to go still, but we made strides tonight and we've made strides the last three or four weeks.

Obviously I had butterflies coming in here, in the rink and before the game. It was a good start for me. I had a chance to make the first few saves (and) the team scored the first goal. After that the confidence was there.

The Cubs have a huge following everywhere, and they feel comfortable coming here because they know we do a good job.

When I first game up I had some butterflies. Now I feel more comfortable. I try to hit the ball hard and find something to drive.
