We're not going to make any excuses. We outplayed them for two periods and held them to nine shots (in that stretch). Then for whatever reason, we let them back in the game in the third.

It's tough to kill the five-on-threes and four-on-threes. (Andy) Delmore has that big booming shot and hits the net quite a bit. Our PK has won us games throughout the year and they'll lose you a game here and there.

Our penalty killing wasn't great. We allowed them to get their shots on net and they got the rebounds. Our PK has been good all year, but tonight it slipped a little bit. It's been slipping a little bit lately.

(The penalty kill) been huge for us. The guys have been coming up so big, especially on the 5-on-3 (opportunities).

Through our Executive Forum, we're able to create an environment where our customers can gather and openly discuss with their peers ideas that will help shape the scope of treasury functions in the future.

They're a team that is looking to win some games. They've got to be hungry (in their situation).

I don't know any different, so I can't say if it's any easier or any harder. ... I was very nervous when I came down. I had never been a head coach. They had lost only one game (in regulation), and they took half the team on me, especially the scoring. I'm thinking to myself 'How am I going to match this (start)?' I'm enjoying it. Winning is helping.

It probably has a lot to do with whether they want me back. I haven't thought that far down the road. I'm just taking it game by game down here. That's how I try to approach it. I do enjoy it, though. I can say that.
