The team has really come together. If one aspect of the team isn't going one night, another steps up. We're running on all cylinders.

The key for us is to shut down their top line. They scored all the goals in the first round.

We have probably the three most solid lines in the league. All three can score a lot of goals. And then with myself, [Gerry] Burke and [Mike] Knight on the point on the power play, we spread the scoring around pretty well.

It's awesome when you hit one, you know you got it and you hear the crowd on opening night. I couldn't have asked for a better first at-bat.

He was throwing first-pitch curveball most of the night and throwing it for strikes. That's what it takes. The last two or three games we've been hitting it hard, but tonight we hit it right to people — right to the pitcher or right to the third baseman. We've just got to go back to work to get ready for Friday.

Dukes of Hazzard. I watch it every night.
