With the confidence not being there right now, it's important for people to step up and push other people to elevate their games.

It's not like we're playing flat-out awful.

It's helped us in a lot of areas.

It's helped our whole team. We still need to elevate our play quite a bit, but we seem to be playing better for longer stretches (of games).

They've played some great hockey on this trip.

Martin's agent called us this week and said that Martin realizes he made a terrible mistake and he wants to come back and apologize to the team.

There's a bit of chemistry there already.

Right now, minor mistakes are costing us games. We have to learn how to win, and know that every battle on the ice is critical.

If we play well together, we have the ability to be successful.
