It's a skill that I worked all my life, and it's been taken away. That's kind of tough to take.

Our job is to get on the road and win one game now. It's a great position to be in. We were lucky to get home ice [advantage] this year. For some reason, we pulled it off at the end and we took advantage early in the series. Now, it's up to us to do our thing on the road.

Losing a game is not a big deal, except you've got to make sure that you move on and get the next one.

The doctor looked at it after the game and he thought it didn't look too bad, but we'll see what happens. My skate got caught and I twisted it. I heard it twist and I couldn't get up. All my body weight fell on it. I had to be really hurt to leave the game - we were still in the game at that point.

Do everything you need to do to keep the passion alive and never forget that it is a privilege to do what you love.

It was tough to get up for teams from the West. This will put a lot of interest back in the game.
