On whether the win was lessened by Henrik Zetterberg’s absence:
No.
On what he liked about the team’s checking, penalty killing, and play without the puck:
Well, obviously we liked our game. I mean, we won. That’s what we’re trying to do is win games, so I liked that. I’m not sure everybody does, but I do. Our power play scored a big goal, it gives you the lead. If you look at it, if you’re aware of stats and actual real stats that matter, both teams are very good defensive teams, don’t give up much, and that’s exactly how the game played out.
On whether he’s “happy to be home after all the hoopla”:
We’ve only got nine left at home. Play, what, Ottawa, and then hit the road again.
