We were a lot better offensively. It was great start. It was a big boost for us. It was nice to have a shot right back at the Avalanche after they beat us.
Denis made a good save on that one in overtime. Obviously I probably should have chipped it up. It would have been nice to see that one go in.
It was sure nice to see it go in, being my first in five. I just shot low post. Going in with that one, I didn't make up my mind, thinking maybe top glove, wasn't sure. Maybe I should have something in my head.

It's a nice compliment. It's nice to have different expectations at the start of the season than being picked just out of the playoffs,
That's a nice change, ... You can pretty much the start the season in every city in the NHL and believe you have a shot at the playoffs and that certainly wasn't the case before.
This is my ninth year here and I think I missed one of these tournaments for the World Cup. You come back and see the guys -- it's great. You keep in touch by e-mail but it's kind of a nice buzz to hear the anticipation. It's a good time of the year.
