I knew the team was counting on me to take it to the next step. I had to elevate my game. And I know I did that.

I loved Robbie down there. He was good for me. He was a good skill coach.

I still get nervous, I still get nervous playing. But it's good to be a little excited, a little anxious for everything. We're going to be switching groups up a little bit so we get to get on the ice with a lot of those NHL guys.

I think everyone's out here trying to prove something. I'm not necessarily saying 'I belong here,' but I just want to put my best foot forward and play to my strengths and do what I do well out there and see how things unfold.

I think it's exciting for all the young guys to be able to skate with them to have the opportunity to make the big club. I think last year we had a different kind of training camp and we're real eager to be out there with these guys.

I was working out and I was already done for two weeks. It was a great experience playing with all those guys and then at the Olympic trials, playing on the ice with those guys, they're the best in the country.

I wasn't trying to go make a point at all, ... I was trying to do what I can do. He played well. He played really well. I'm not trying to draw any comparisons.
|
I'm approaching like all the other guys - I want to make the team. There's obviously extra incentive there that wasn't there last year. But we're all here for a reason and that's to make the team.

I'm happy with the way I'm playing, ... I'm out there with some very talented players and I'm trying my best to fit in.

It is an important win for us, especially coming from behind like that. These two points are just as important at the end of the season. This is a big win for us.
|
It was more of a blur than anything, ... I just had a couple whacks at it and when it went in it was just excitement. It was an unbelievable feeling.
|
It's fun. I'm enjoying every minute of playing with them. I know I have to be at the top of my game every night - I don't want to be the weak link.
|
It's so much fun in the locker room. Guys enjoy coming to the rink and we're showing it on the ice. Everything is coming together for us.
|
Regardless of what the players think about it, it's the way it's going to be, so you might as well enjoy it.

Robbie was great and put me in a lot of situations, a lot of power play and a lot of penalty kill. Any time you can get a year of pro experience under your belt is great. Coming right of college I needed to adjust to the pro game from college and that season was great for me.
