This is just great for the team. Emotionally, it was a very draining game.

It's emotionally draining. It hurts. It really hurts. I wish I could have done a little more. I wish I could have hit a free throw at the end that would have sealed it. I didn't do enough.

What we feel is that it's so special, and also so emotionally draining that it's not something we could do every day. We will play more, but where and when I'm not at liberty to say.

This is supposed to be a democratic union and it's become communist.

It hit my hand and went in the net. I had my stick there. That's the way the sticks are designed. The handle part is narrower, and that's where it hit.

That's probably the best I felt all year. I was able to react to a few high deflections, which is key. You know you're square to the puck and reading the play well.
