It's a great feeling, and as I've said before, any way I can contribute is great.

Well, basically everyone gave 100 percent, even though it was a little chilly out here. (The kids) came out and they gave all they had, and I was really proud of them for that.

He's very foul prone and he struggles defensively if he is in foul trouble, so getting guys going at him it might give him a tougher job.

Any time you get to score a goal and help the team out is a good feeling. I was in the area where I need to be, in the front of the net where there's a lot of traffic.

These last two games are going to make or break you. I know if I make this team, it's going to be third, fourth line. I'm not going to kid myself and think I'm a scorer. I'm just worried about the physical part of the game.

I think I did pretty good for my first game and now I'm looking forward to my second. I just have to keep working hard and hope things work out. I spent two training camps here, so I knew everyone. This is a good group of guys who have always made me feel welcome. This wasn't like getting called up onto a new team.
