We had to control the puck in the final two minutes, and we did. The kids did what we asked them to do.

It was no big deal, just another point. But it was cool scoring that many points and much more fun than a tight game. Our power play is really moving the puck well, and there's no selfishness.

I was definitely a little nervous. But once I got the puck and started going, my natural instincts took over.

They [York and Satan] are both very skilled players. The key is all three will go in and get the puck. We've been able to support each other down low and create opportunities.

The first two periods we had a lot of chances in and around the net. The puck was sitting right there in the slot, but we weren't able to get it in the back of the net.

At training camp, we had to decide what kind of player he should be. Should he just shoot the puck, or should he be a steady defenseman who could do other things? He's got to do more than shoot the puck to play at this level. He had to learn that. He's still not nearly out of the woods, but he's made progress in the games he's played.

He played well, but I think we made him look pretty good on a few of those chances. You have to put the puck in the net.

We didn't do anything fancy, but we didn't get in a whole lot of trouble. They're one of those grinding teams and we matched their intensity and won a lot of one-on-one battles. We usually came out with the puck.

I think I'm just going to start shooting the puck every time I come here. I just got a new curve on my stick and I think my backhand is harder than my forehand now.

I felt good. I felt I could have handled the puck a little better. All in all, I felt pretty good.

They had a lot of good plays, first and second efforts and puck control. They did a lot of good things you expect from a top checking line.

It was a lucky bounce, but other than that, I saw the puck the whole game.

I think it was a really strong game defensively for us. That one goal that went in, it was lucky, a bad bounce. Other than that, I was able to see the puck throughout the game.

I was trying to poke check him a little bit and I missed the puck. It's mentally pretty hard.

It still seems unbelievable to me. I'll watch the DVD of Game 7 and it gets in the final minute and I start yelling at the screen: 'What are you doing? Get the puck out!' And then I have to remind myself, 'Wait, it's OK, we win.'

We had a lot of chances, that's all that matters. I think our puck movement was really good, so I think it was a really good first game for us. Everyone's a little tired and we'll get another good rest [Wednesday night].

It's kind of funny. Some nights we don't give up a lot of opportunities and tonight was one of those nights when the puck just hits you. I'm throwing out a few rebounds, but I've got time to control them. I had some puck-luck maybe.

I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.

We seem to play with a great sense of confidence when we play at home, where we have only lost twice all season. Against Midland, we won all the loose puck battles and our puck possession game was as good as it's been all season.

When you got a few guys out of the lineup, the other team has the puck. It's almost 60-40. When you got the puck, you're not going to be taking many penalties. Sometimes, it's now how many you take it's when you take them.

He's been the best defensemen in the league for 10 years. He just always makes the right play. When he's out there, guys like me have to be more aware of him when he has the puck, so that creates more room for the other guys.

Randy complements our line. He sees the ice really well. When the puck comes around the wall, he's got a good set of hands. He can get a lot of loose pucks out to Gabby.

These kids know what is at stake, and I think we were a little nervous. They're good. I think Everest has made one of the biggest climbs during the season. A couple bounces of the puck and we could've been down after the first period.

I was really focused. I saw the puck all night.

I was fortunate the puck went in. At first I didn't think it did go in. We were fortunate.
