It's something you dream about. The first one, hopefully the first of many. It's a special night. I'll remember it for a while.
It's awesome. It doesn't happen too often. So it's fun to see the team work hard and have it finally pay off.
We wanted to get on them early. Our first couple of shifts were huge, got the crowd into it. We created a lot of momentum with that.
It was more the people on the outside who thought that. On the inside, we know what we're capable of. We're a young bunch of guys that give an honest effort every night. So far it's been good, and hopefully it's a ways to go.
I was fortunate enough to play an exhibition game there, so I've seen the place before, I know how it is. It's sold out every night, and the fans are really into it. It's just a great place to play, and I'm looking forward to it.
We've got to be better five-on-five. The short-handed goal cost us, but it's the overall game we gotta look at.
He's really a good speaker. Once he walks into a locker room and starts talking to us, I think it's pretty easy to listen to him. He catches everybody's attention.
I knew I could play. I knew that if I would get my shot I would be able to stick, and I finally did. I had a couple good years in Rochester, and I felt comfortable out there.
As a player you're kind of nervous all the time. You don't really know what's going on, especially this being my first time around this situation. It is a little bit nerve-racking. But as a fan, it's a fun thing to look forward to.
I don't think he realized I was right behind him. He had his back turned, and I just swatted his stick and it went straight in. It was kind of taking advantage of a forward out there, and it paid off.
