See you soon.

Listen, there's no surprises when you play against the Carolina Hurricanes.

The fans who watch the games know exactly what it's all about.

And the players who play the games, you know what you're in store for.

You're going to get put under duress.

They're going to forecheck.

They're going to skate.

They're not the most physical team, but they definitely make you feel it when they're around you.

And it takes its toll on you.

And as far as what's been ailing the Montreal Canadiens, think about what they've had to go through here.

Getting through two rounds that went the distance, were emotional.

They had to find different ways to win games.

It feels like the toll that it took out of them to get to this point, Carolina is basically...

There were a lot of times, Tony, where I would get interviewed after a game, and maybe they would ask me how I thought I played, and I'd say pretty good.

And deep down, I know I didn't play very good, but what am I going to do?

Am I going to admit it to the media or whoever, the television screen, that I wasn't good tonight?

Because then I've defeated myself at that point.

So you have to take those comments with a grain of salt, but we can see it.

We can see that Montreal, they're...

They're slower on pucks.
