We're going to need all seven of those guys. To put numbers on them, that would be wrong right now.

We'd like to get him acclimated with our team. Right now, you'd probably put him eighth on our depth chart among defensemen. That's an important position.

We're going to dress the best team we can. And if one of those young guys is in that mix, that's the way it's going to be.

There are some question marks and things that need to happen for us, but I like this team.

We won't be successful in a playoff game like that. We'll take the win and learn from our mistakes. It's easy to whine and cry. But we'll whine and cry our way right out of the playoffs if we do that.

We have a real focus on these seven division games. Hopefully, we have a good grasp on being able to lock up the division. Believe me, I'm happy we're playing teams like this. Our players recognize competition, and this is good competition for us.

When you can't make plays under pressure and you're not willing to win 1-on-1 battles, then I guess that's the game. Then the bounces. I'd like to see how many bounces go to the team playing with more desperation. That's kind of the way it happened tonight.
bearing great sign step taking
When things aren't going your way, he can step up to that other level. That makes him a great player. He's bearing down on opportunities. He's taking all the challenges, and that's a great sign for our team.
advantage against came game mental plan pushing soft team
We're going against a team where the whole game plan going in was to take advantage of our turnovers and soft mental play. We were pushing to take that mental play out of the equation, but there were too many times it came into it.
captain great hungry job prove team
He has done a great job as captain of our team this year. I think they are all hungry to prove they can get the job done.
