It feels fantastic to finally get started after all the build-up. We are not quite used to the ice yet but it was important to get a good start. When we've started well in the past, we have always done well.
We really couldn't have done any more. We trained our hearts out and prepared as well as we could and came here and had some great performances and beat a lot of good teams but just never quite got the breaks.
Last year was so disappointing. We just really wanted to erase those memories and it's been such a good year. We've been real consistent and this is just icing on the cake.
