With this surgery, there's a good chance that I'll be back (for the playoffs). I don't want to miss the most important past of the season at the end.
My goal the day I had the surgery was to be ready for the playoffs ... and I'm close. Hopefully, the doctor will feel everything is fine and I'm going to be ready soon. That's what I want.
If we don't play, then my month is over. That'd be just great.
I think they looked at my past record and decided they were going to give me five games right after it happened.
I won't be able to play right away, but I'm expecting to get the clearance. Then, I'll be able to give it a good test in practice and I'll be back for the playoffs.
We gave them the game. We just gave it to them by making a lot of mistakes and that's what hurts the most. That was just awful to lose that way.
The whole team played a great game. We were battling much harder. We were much better in the power play. We were skating much better and putting pressure on them.
The whole team played a great game and we deserved a win tonight.
It wasn't that much fun when I wasn't playing. It's a much better feeling here in the last two games.
It was kind of fun. We had a lot of scoring chances. It was fun.
I wanted to play a hard game tonight. They just kept going in and I was pretty happy with that.
I'm feeling pretty good and I'm making progress every day, but I'm not ready for the physical play and until I get that clearance I won't be able to come back.
I'm trying to score every game, whether it's the playoffs or not. It's just going right now and it's better to score now.
I'm really happy to have the chance to come back and help the team win the Stanley Cup.
I have nothing to say. I can't change anything. There's no place in hockey for kicking. It doesn't matter what I say now, five games is five games.
I had a couple of buddies sitting there. So that's why I went over there. But the goal felt great. I didn't score a goal two years ago in the playoffs against Toronto.
