Jaffray Playing It Shift-by-Shift with Canucks

Summary


"I'm here game-to-game. That's how I look at it," said [JASON JAFFRAY]. "It's the opportunity of a lifetime and I don't want to look back and say I could have given more. It's been incredible. The last couple of games I've played on a line with Taylor Pyatt and Markus Naslund. Naslund is one of the best players in the NHL. If you had told me at the start of the year I'd be on a line with Markus Naslund, I would have laughed at you."

"He's come in and done a real nice job for us. I wouldn't say skating is his forte but he gets where he needs to go and when he crosses the other team's blue line he really knows where to go and where to put the puck. In his time with the Moose we've been able to see him grow as an offensive player and he's learned to be a real responsible player on the defensive side."

"But my buddies that were at the game, they were talking about that fight like I'd scored the winner in overtime. So it was fun. But the next day, coach [Alain Vigneault] walked by me and said, 'quit trying to be a fighter and score some goals.' So that's what I'm trying to focus on."
