You can only take it so far. You still have to show up.

They've been playing great. It was good for us. That win shows a lot about our team.

It's good to have a few pucks put away right now. I'm only concerned about the wins. We're putting wins on the board and everybody in the room is ecstatic right now.

I felt like I got a 25-pound weight off my back. It's been a while, and it's been a stressful long month and a half.

We've been through this before and we're going to get out of it. It's just a matter of how and when.

It sucks. I thought we played pretty good there, battled back and gave ourselves a chance to win.

I don't even know what to say to you guys any more. It's been a stressful month-and-a-half. It feels like 25 pounds off my back and my shoulders.

We put ourselves as far behind as we could.

Even though they kept tying it, I don't think there was any point where we felt we were going to lose the game.
