choose goal heavy ourselves playing surprised teams within
What I'm surprised at is that we choose to let ourselves get down a goal or two before we ignite ourselves in the way we need to play. And that's a heavy consequence when you're playing teams that really know how to play within their structure. I'll be surprised if it continues.

We have to keep looking at players over and over again because you can't hang someone out to dry if they're called for a penalty, with so many new rules to learn.

We're coming. I think this game changes things.

We're sort of playing a hunch as much as anything. He's played New Jersey well, and our last good game of hockey was here against them with Kevin in goal, so I don't think that is unreasonable at all.

We're going to stay the course and keep working at it. We had a game as we have had a couple of other times. We don't want to make it bigger than what it is.

We're beginning to see a bit of personality in the other three lines. They can contribute, game in and game out.
