Somebody will say he only had four assists, but they were huge -- setting up winning goals, making big plays, drawing penalties. He could have drawn about 10 more penalties. And he's a leader in the room along with Patty, they share that responsibility.
The best thing we can do is win all our games, then you don't even have to bother. Our focus right now has to be on Colorado, but those two games against Vancouver right now are huge as well as the game in L.A. It's the L.A. and Vancouver games that seem to have the most importance.
It's huge to get that out of the way. All we really do is get to think about it for a couple hours here and play Vancouver again. If we could get sixth or even fifth, that would be a real feather in our cap considering where we came from.
It's going to get harder. We'll play a team, and it's going to be one step closer to the Cup. It's going to get harder. We're going to need huge contributions from everybody.

I don't think he realized how hard that is. He's very comfortable, and this is when it matters most too. These are huge games, and to see the young guys come through like this is great.
