What I'm proud about, 5-on-5, when it mattered most, they couldn't get anything going. They did not score one even-strength goal in (their) building and they were the best home team in the league. That has to be a real confidence boost for our team, especially our defense.

I thought he could score 40 this year, and now he's there. He's exceeding all my expectations as far as I'm concerned.

We can't sit back and expect Joe to score three or four goals and we jump on his back. He has to do his job and we have to do our job.

A cynic might say he's profiting from playing with Joe Thornton, and there's some truth to that, but he did score 28 goals without a pass from Joe Thornton two years ago. And he basically was playing on a grind line, a third line, doing a lot of the work himself.

They did not score one even-strength goal against us in this building, and they were the best home team in the league this year. That's a real confidence-booster for our whole team, and in particular our defense.

I never would have thought he'd score the last goal from that distance with the goalie set. You're thinking, 'OK, just shoot it' and the goalie whiffed on it. That ended up being the difference.
