I thought it was a special goal knowing how important it was at that stage of the game. The game was going to go down to the wire and they were playing really well there. It is a great reflection on a tremendous career. He gets into situations like that because of how he plays, and we have been happy with everything he has done.

Joe wanted to go. A couple guys wanted to go, and I think you need (prior) approval, and I didn't want to risk (a penalty) at that stage of the game. I still think he'll remember it. It was a huge goal, a timely goal.

With Brad, we feel he's going to provide a great element of energy and enthusiasm. We think he's fitting in with the guys great. He's a team guy; he's going to be well received by his teammates. He's a big member of the community in all the teams he's been at. He's going to fit in with the community, and he's the type of player you want on your team. I don't foresee a problem at all.

I think what we're seeing here is what was on display in the world championships last year. His performance created interest in the eyes of a couple of people in the organization.

We definitely played a desperate team. You can really tell it was a meaningful game on their end of it.

He had some momentum going on his side. I think he played very well and gave us a chance to win.

I don't think we can expect to win if we give up six.
