When I saw him in training camp, he didn't look like a special player,

One of the important things was when it was 0-0 and we killed the five-on-three and they didn't score. We scored after and it's always better if you score the first goal.

I knew this was a special team when everybody reported to training camp, ... I knew then that we had something special. This has been the best season of my career. My teammates made this special. This is just unbelievable.

I don't know if he surprised me. I made a butterfly. I went down. He shot top shelf, my glove wasn't there. It was a goal scorer move.

I don't think there was any extra motivation, ... It's my first win here, but it's only preseason.

I will be a little nervous before the game, ... It's my first time playing in Ottawa and I'm excited about it.
