We figured out a little bit the last 11 games and the last few weeks that we like to play and what we have to do to be successful. We've just got to keep it going.

We don't want to pinch ourselves now. We're feeling good about the game we have been playing. We know the series we played, they had a couple of injured guys but that doesn't take anything away from the game we played or what we accomplished.

We had a lot of opportunities. We would've been in trouble if we couldn't score on those chances. It was just one of those nights where everything went in for us.

Listen, I've been here my whole career. I've accomplished something here. I put myself in a good position. I worked hard for where I'm at. They've given me an opportunity to succeed, so I'm happy for that. But on the other hand, there's things that could be an issue.

We were underrated all year. There was a game against Atlanta (March 23), where we were winning 4-1, lost (6-5) in overtime. That was a turning point. If we lost (composure after that) we go downhill.
