We played pretty well, but their goaltender made some big saves and he was the difference tonight.

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.

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

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.

If we're going to have to pay escrow, I'd rather know right ahead.
