As a group, we can't accept losing, even though we are a young team and there are a lot of people picking against us. But the last thing you want to do is breed a losing mentality. You have to be accountable and do everything to put ourselves in a position to win. Most nights it might not happen. But as long as we are not out-worked and out-hustled, that's really all you can ask from this group.

We gave them a little too much respect. I didn't help myself out much. I didn't bale the guys out like I did earlier in the year.

I really hadn't thought about the road record. Personally, I approach every game the same whether we're at home or away. We have to get that message to the guys here in the room. There are some things that go against you on the road. They can make the last change and sometimes you don't get the calls on the road -- not that we get many calls anyway. There's a reason it's called home-ice advantage.

Obviously they were a little tired and a little flat. We took advantage of the situation.

I'm the same guy, I'm just holding it in a little better. Going into the season, the key word for me was patience. There are going to be nights like Saturday night and Friday night. You have to grade yourself after every game. You have to realize there are going to be growing pains.

That's right up there. That's a complete 180 from the way we played the last two games ... and that's the way we need to play to give ourselves a chance to win. When we don't play like that, not only do we not win but we embarrass ourselves. We came out hard. We came out determined. We had a couple good days of practice, and it paid off.

Against that team, if we get into penalty trouble -- they've got such a good power play and they've killed us all year long with it. We just need to find a way to be more disciplined against a team like that.

It was the same thing. Grahame didn't have it frozen, but he disallowed it for whatever reason. Just give me some consistency. That's a two-goal swing.

Guys were playing with a lot of inspiration out there. It was nice to see. We've played better than our last five-game record. We know we have to play like this every night in order for us to have a chance. But you don't want to get into the habit of losing, no matter how hard you're working.
