We seem to be creating a lot of odd-man rushes. We're killing a penalty, but we seem to be jumping into the play and doing things like blocking shots to create a 2-on-1. We seem to be able to score and we're finishing those chances and I can't really explain why.

We have been trying to worry about ourselves and hope that the other teams will lose some games. But that's not what has happened. [Tampa Bay, Montreal and the New Jersey Devils] have kept winning.
