Everything just keeps rolling. It's amazing how early in the season we weren't getting the bounces and now everything coach seems to do is turning into gold. |
For myself, it was awful. I just didn't feel like myself. I didn't feel like I did when I was in college. |
I've always had kind of a knack for scoring goals. I think I could bring [to Anaheim] a game that you can trust every night ... doing whatever role [they] think I could fit. |
I've had to make my game more of a speed game. Getting up and down my wall a little quicker, getting myself the room that I need. Instead of kinda sitting and looking for the room, I have to move and create space for myself. |
It depends on what the goalie is going to do. You react to him. |

It was kinda tough on the ego going from one place and then out of another lineup and then not knowing how you fit. But hey, I can't complain about the situation. Any day in the NHL is a good day. |
It's exciting. Any time you can play with two players that great makes your job easier. Obviously they have some confidence in you to put you on a line like that but you need to produce to stay up there. |
It's just 1-on-1 and the game's on the line. I think a lot of guys like to thrive in that situation and I like it a lot. |
Just having the chance to put it on the line at the end with the coach putting me out there was a lot of fun. We needed the two points anyway it came and it was a great way to get it. |
There have been a lot of days, but we had a couple of team meals, a team day on the pond, a trip to a pool hall. I think the chemistry is starting to come around. We had a lot of (personnel) moves early on in the season, with new guys coming in and out. It's been pretty consistent as of late. |
