Towards the end it got really rough. I take my hat of to Alice, he's still doing it. This is probably more work than going on the road for 2-3 months. I wish I was 25 again!

It's more than six years since my last hat-trick so it was sweet to get another one. I'm getting back to my best now and I'm scoring goals. I scored three against Boston and I could have had more. I'm just pleased that I'm getting the chance to play regular football again - the manager told me that is why he wanted me and I'm paying him back with the goals.

The main thing is that we got another win. It was kind of a rush to get my first hat trick. There were a lot of positive things we did yesterday. Our goaltender made the saves when we needed it to get out of the slump.

The first couple of days are going to be rough, I think, on me. I've just got to get acquainted with the job,

The first couple of days are going to be rough, I think, on me. I've just got to get acquainted with the job. My confidence is gaining a lot each day.

Yeah, I'm surprised, very surprised. The last two holes … anything could happen, especially in that rough. I would have hung around for a playoff.
