“Yeah, same thing. Some banged-up people. When you're playing this many games against, you know, quality teams like Philly and teams like especially out east that are in a dogfight every night, you know, we're getting these hard, heavy games, and yeah, we just got to keep moving.”

“I mean, it's a process. It's really hard to get there. You know, 100 points is not something you take lightly in the league, and you know, tonight was a hard game.”

“He scored a lot in the AHL, so it's not a surprise, but it's good to get the first one in the NHL. You get it off your back, and you know, it was a big goal for us. I mean, we got us a point, and it was a big league shot. I thought it was a great shot, and you can shoot the puck. He's gonna score more goals in this league.”
