We're just playing pretty solid hockey right now and not making too many big mistakes. Five on five, we're making it really tough for teams to play us. We're skating, and we're not giving them a lot of opportunities in our end, for the most part. We have to continue to play like that.
When we finally got going, we had them back on their heels.
With the loss of Mario, there's a lot of leadership lost there so I think they want to step up and show that even more. They're experienced guys and they're trying to lead the way.
We'll see ... I think it depends on the swelling, ... If it's swollen like this, we'll probably just wait. If it's still swollen, and because it's swollen, the left foot probably doesn't fit in a skate.
We're happy to get another one. We worked hard and we deserved it. Sure, we got a bounce. But other teams have gotten bounces against us, too. But we earned it.
It's just frustrating losing, that's pretty much it. Either way, it (stinks) to lose. I thought we played better. We still have better in us. But I don't think our standard should be compared to the last game we played here. If we're trying to play better than that, it's not good. We have to play to our own level.

They've been unbelievable. We've had some ups and downs -- probably a lot more downs -- and they've been there throughout it all to support us.
It's just tough to see him leave. He's had such an impact on the game. He's really got a passion for the game. I don't think anyone ever should have to deal with so much.
I look at it as a challenge, ... I'm not going to put too much added pressure on myself. I want to play in the NHL, and after that [happens], I can worry about things beyond that.
