It's a reward to our kids for their hard work for the last 115 or 116 days. To be able to play a championship game at their home place, they have earned the right to play it, but they haven't earned the right to win it.

It was a great game for Nick Martin. We wanted to reward him for his hard work.

Those are usually a reward for hard work. Good players score those goals. Guys like you and me, the puck would end up in the seats.

Kyle earned his first college medal. This was a good reward for all of his hard work over the last three years.

A gift of that value is a reward for a season of hard work.

We look at the playoffs as a positive and a reward for the hard work. We'll go through our normal routine. Not a whole lot changes. We're gonna try and take care of ourselves and not worry about what everybody else is gonna do. Hopefully we can stay focused and rise to the level we need to rise to. Basically you have to take it up a notch.
