I think we're going to be harder to play against. We're going to be more physical, and there's going to be more of a price to pay to come into our zone. Players won't be poking around our net as much as they did last year trying to get rebounds because I think we can make them pay. And we didn't have that last year -- we haven't had that for awhile -- so that's going to really help us. I think our strength is going to be on the back end.
