On if he’s found a way to take it up a notch in the playoffs:
“Good question. I don’t know. I just try and play how I can play in every game. But in the playoffs, it’s a different game too. So I play a little bit better.”
On if he’s tired after the 48-games in 99 nights during the regular season and then a tough series with the Blues:
“I’d say I’m like everybody else, but I played 37 games more in Manchester (big smile). No, I feel great. I’m ready to play. Plenty of energy and emotion.”
On contributing to the offense in Game 1:
“I feel the same as when I’m not scoring goals, I don’t care. As long as we win.”
On if he feels there’s more space against the Sharks than there was against the Blues:
“Not really. All the time I try to play quicker everywhere. If you play quick, I don’t care if it’s physical or not physical. Maybe there’s a little bit more time, but it’s the same game.”
On who scores first tonight:
“Jeff Carter.”
