It's nothing new to this team, especially having played Minnesota. We just have to break them down on the cycle and get it to the net. That's how you beat the 1-2-2, get it in and wear them down.

I got a great opportunity to go in and make this team out of camp, and I did that and I'm really proud that I did.

Deep inside, after Dallas has eliminated them all those times, it may be a case of (facing a different team). We definitely have to be ready. They're a good, quality team.

We had our team meal one time in Calgary. I mentioned Patrick Roy. They suspended me out of the meal. I swear. We had a discussion about something. I mentioned Patrick Roy.

It's clutch. Especially against a team like Stonewall. Things can be turned around in a heartbeat. We still have eight games left in the district.

He's extremely skilled. Nothing against Minnesota, but when you play that style, the first thing that comes to their mind is stay back. I think here is he going to have a chance to really open it up and we'll see how much skill he's got.
