They seem to be getting too many odd-man rushes lately, and good defense is going to lead to good offense and we just have to concentrate on that.

We just have to verbally keep talking about it. You can't have negative thoughts, they take up too much space and energy. Obviously, there is a lot of that going on and now we need the results. You have to stay positive talking with each other on an everyday basis. It will turn around, you have to believe that. We are too good of a team not to do that.

You're upset you lose, but we battled back and forth. We kept punching away, and it was still a loss. [But] I think you can take a positive out of tonight. Out of the past few games we have played, this was a consistent effort out there.

I think he made my career. Playing with a guy who can move the puck like that and control the game like that ... just to be part of it was unbelievable. I'm glad I'm here tonight.

It gets you hyper, more than anything. And how good is that on the ice, especially when you need to control the puck and be calm in certain situations?

He's so calm back there. He jokes back there and just relaxes everybody.

The last few games, we had been getting a lot of shots and chances, tonight that didn't happen, but as long as we find ways to win games.

Nothing was broken (in my face). And the scar, hopefully, won't be too bad.

Not too bad. The result has been pretty good.
