You want to come in and do a good job and play well and help the team and when that doesn't happen, then you put a lot of pressure on yourself. It was good tonight to get two points.

    I think the biggest difference is I'm having fun. I think I was a little bit too tight. Now I go out there and play hard, but I have fun at the same time. It makes it me a little bit more focused when you're not as tight.

    It's great for Swiss hockey that we won. We have to be careful because it's one game.

    A six-on-four is never easy. There's so many bodies in front of the net. I feel pretty good the way I'm moving right now. I worked hard on it during the period where I didn't play much, so I'm happy that I could take advantage of that time.

    It doesn't really matter who you're facing. It's great to have an opportunity to play against a team like that and unfortunately we came up short tonight but that's one game. We have to put it behind us and look forward because there are a lot of tough games coming up.

I didn't speak English when I first got here, I didn't know where to go and I didn't know anybody. That was intimidating. But to see Patrick and to talk to him and work with him every day, that was great. I learned a lot and I know I'm ready.
