Any time you can get a little bit of rest it helps.

He dove into the net for it. It was pretty cool. We've just seemed to connect since he's gotten here. It was nice for him to get an assist on it, too.
|
He draws a lot of double-teams, and he sees the ice so well. Basically, all you have to do is find a soft spot in the ice. He does a great job fighting off guys, and I just pick up the garbage in front of the net.

He was just trying to get the goalie to maybe bite a little on his move. He froze him enough to give me time to put it upstairs.
|
He's a great player. I've watched him since '94, I guess. He's always been one of the best players in the league, so I got lucky to get ahead of him.
|
I came in, trying to set myself up so I could shoot at any time. I got into shooting position and he dropped down pretty early, so I knew I just had to get it upstairs.
|
I just turned and seen there was nobody between me and the net, so I just shot it. I didn't even look at the clock.
|
I knew it hit my foot and I looked down at my skate. Everybody started celebrating so I knew something happened. I guess you get one of those every once in a while.

I never really imagined it, but it's amazing. A lot of guys who I have a lot of respect for when I was growing up have got their names on that trophy. It's still sinking in.

I think the time in Cleveland helped him. It's tough to play there. It's a good development league, but it shows you what you have to do to get here.
|
I think they've shown a lot of confidence in me and I'm confident in the team. It's pretty exciting. When they went out and got Joe Thornton, it showed they wanted to win.
|
I wanted to put myself in a position where he'd make the first move.
|
I've always known I could score goals. But when Joe (Thornton) came, I got the opportunity to play with him.
|
I've been working with my agent to try to get something set up. One of the things I think I'm going to start doing is a hockey school for sure because they are big hockey fans up there.
|
I've gotten used to it and embraced it. Now it's something that I kind of take pride in and I enjoy speaking to the kids.
