I think with the talent we have, we knew we were a deep team, we knew we were a favorite coming into the year, we had high expectations for ourselves and we still do. We expect to keep this pace going. We know in order to be a team that wins the Stanley Cup, you have to be consistent.
We do not take this lightly. The Stanley Cup is the greatest sports trophy anywhere, ever. It is unique and a huge part of our culture and heritage.
Kiss changed my life, ... Paul Stanley came to our show last summer; then we went to their show. Somehow I ended up going to L.A., to Paul Stanley's house, to write 'Angel to You, Devil to Me,' which is a track on our album.

We have to learn from this. They showed why they were the Stanley Cup Champions two years ago. Good teams never quit.
We have to hold ourselves more accountable. Two years ago, I played on a team that went 1-10 in January and went on to win the Stanley Cup. We had good character guys. We have good character guys here. We just have to rise to the challenge and have to push each other.
Using machine learning, we reduced Stanley's error rate from about 12 percent in the beginning to about 1 in 50,000 by race time. We gave Stanley a framework to approach the problems he had to tackle.
We were literally one shot away, one second away from winning the Stanley Cup.
We're extremely excited to add a player of Bobby's caliber to our lineup. He's a hard-nosed player who has enjoyed a distinguished career that includes valuable Stanley Cup championship experience. He is a veteran who will play an important role in our success.
