It gets you hyper, more than anything. And how good is that on the ice, especially when you need to control the puck and be calm in certain situations?

It's huge (power-play goals). It's a momentum changer. It makes them (opponents) a little more shy because they don't want to give up any more penalties if your power play's going. We moved the puck right around really well, and it's nice to see that. Hopefully, we can keep it going.

I see him a lot more mature, a lot more poised and mature with the puck, too.

I just tried to focus on stopping the puck.

The key for me is to use my skating ability. He made a very good move, and luckily I ended up being able to fall on the puck. It was one of those saves where you might not get it many times. I guess it was kind of a lucky save.

The puck was bouncing all over the place. It seemed all the bounces they got turned to goals while ours turned into just 2-on-1's. I don't know if it was the puck or the ice, but both teams had to deal with it.

Unfortunately, their goalie made some great saves at the end. We wanted to get the puck in deep and get it on net (in the final minute), but they managed to keep us from setting it up. When we did get it set up, they kept us from getting second chances.

The plain fact is that some guys really have to look deep within themselves and figure out how badly they want to play. You can't come out and play rope-a-dope for two periods. On our home ice, you don't want to leave a game to a bounce of the puck in the last 20 minutes and we did. And this is what you get, a 1-0 loss.

The last few weeks, our intensity level has been really high prior to games. We didn't have that the first five or six games of the season. You can see they are ready to go when the puck is dropped.

It's not like we weren't executing. We moved the puck well, we did everything we wanted to do. I give Cheshire credit. They shut down our No.1 guy and their goalie was outstanding.

Zach thinks defense first. But he's able to weave, rush the puck up the ice and create offense.

We're glad we got a chance to play the game. We've been having some trouble scoring, so it was nice to put the puck in the net.

It was so obvious because the puck was 100 feet away from the kid and they'd still be chasing him around.

I thought it'd be a 4-3 game. They dominated in the first five minuets, and we dominated the rest. We moved the puck really well.

I think that might be the best we can play. We moved the puck and limited them to three shots. We didn't give them any time to move. Our speed was just incredible tonight. Every man went out there with a mission. There was nobody standing around, nobody. It was the best game our defense has played in probably six or seven games.

Both teams had a lot of breakdowns defensively in the game. Both teams were able to capitalize on them. We finally got a little puck luck to win the game.

I tried to go get (the puck), and it jumped over my stick, and I couldn't play it where it landed.

I only had three goals up until tonight. I had a few chances, though. That's the way hockey is. Sometimes the puck goes in for you, and then you'll have a five- or six-game span where nothing goes in.

We're definitely running into a hot goalie, but we're kind of making him look good. He definitely made some big saves, but we put the puck right at him. We definitely need to have more urgency in our game.

Hockey is the ultimate team sport. You have to have all of the pieces working together. My example is I always use is Wayne Gretzky. He would often be in front of the net and get the puck from two guys who were getting the heck pounded out of them in the corner. They were making a lot less than him. They get bloody. Gretzky puts the puck in the net and he gets the glory.

We've got a couple of guys who shoot the puck like that, too. You can't really think about that. Those guys keep it low all the time. As long as it's low -- the head shots you tend to worry about.

Now, because of the new rules, you can't hold on as much and pin a guy against the wall. Guys are facing the glass a lot more. They position their body between you and the puck and try to play keep-away.

A lot of people thought he was going to be the next Paul Coffey, rushing the puck to the net, but that's just not his game up to this point. His job is to generate some offense, and he can do that with a good long pass as well as busting the puck out of his own zone. But that's all going to come.

We had a lot of scoring chances, a lot of shots.. Nothing went in for us. We just turned the puck over a little more than we have been in the past. Before we were keeping the game a little more simple.

He wins all the one-on-one battles for the puck. He makes you want to go out there and compete just as hard.
