When you take what was your best player out of the lineup for a long time, you start to wonder how it's going to work when he comes back. I think we've seen a good indication what it's done for our team, offensively ... He's small in stature, but big when it comes to the role he plays on the team.

We were a little careless in our own zone, giving them some good chances in the first (period). We really bounced back in the last forty minutes.

We don't know for sure. It could be part of the concussion, and as a precaution we wanted to keep him out. He said he didn't feel right, so we didn't want to take any chances. Let's have the doctors consult over it and find out exactly what it is.

We're not happy with the way we've played against them, there's no disguising that. We need to make a statement.
