This was a big win for us. It was a good win for ourselves and for our fans. We're supposed to win every game here.

I got hit by a high stick and the referee was so close to me, he saw everything, but for sure it was a bad call.

We played way bad on the power play. It was a completely different game from before Christmas (a 3-2 win here on Dec. 23). The game before Christmas everybody was finishing checks. Tonight it was a big difference.

My first three years I had injuries and bad luck a little bit. Now is a good chance to show what kind of player I am.

It's a long, long time to stay in Rochester. This is big time for me. This is a dream for every hockey player, to play in the NHL. It's an unbelievable feeling.

It's a great encouragement for us.
