There's some grunting. The challenge is how fast you go from that tuck to that full position.

In our last couple of games, we've just been a bit sloppier than what our game is and we've given up way too many goals. We've got to get back to doing what we do and that's winning the defensive battles. In the last couple of games, we've been losing those and everybody in our room knows it. That's where well have to start in order to get better.

They're a good team, they're fast and we knew they would be. We've got to match that and unfortunately we didn't.

I'm excited to continue my career with the Flames and help this team finish what we started in the 2004 playoffs.

The first half of the game was ours, the second half theirs. We have to find a way to hold the lead. We didn't help Kipper out very much tonight.

In the third, we were a lot more determined hockey club.

It's going to be a great battle. Both are improved, both are quick, both like to play physical.
