We heard somebody yell something and we both just froze and looked at the door. He wasn't hitting me. He was just standing there, frozen. As soon as we saw (the officer's) head pop up, he just shot.

When I heard about that, it was like somebody was opening a door to you. It's going to be a very good opportunity to make the team this year. They want to mix young guys with veterans, and I want to be a part of that.

I'm not the type to just yell at somebody. That was uncomfortable for me.

I just felt the puck hit me I don't know how many times. I heard one of my defensemen yell, 'It's still loose!' and then somebody shot it down the ice.

I felt like the family was blaming me, also, and, I mean, I know it's not my fault, and I didn't ask for it. I was scared because I've never seen him like that.

Now that hurt us. We'd been hitting each other and we were ready to go after somebody else. We also lost a chance to get in some actual game situations.
