Their goaltender made some key saves in the second period. If not for that, we could have been tied up.

We played hard tonight. Curtis made some big saves. We played well and deserved to win. But, the Kings did play last night. That's just scheduling. We were more rested than the home team.

Every game is a stepping stone to getting to the final game. We had a really good first period and all of a sudden the tide turned.

That second goal sort of broke our back. Lenny probably would like to have that one back and keep it a 1-0 game. The intensity level from their team was a lot higher tonight than when we played them a few weeks ago in Phoenix.

I heard people say, 'Why would he want to do this?' My answer is 'Why not?' It is what I love. It's what I know.

It's not going to be easy every day, but I'm going to work hard, and our players are going to work hard, ... I look forward to this as a new chapter in my life, and I can't wait to get started.
