We have to learn something from today. Everybody?s going to go in different directions right now, because of how they?re going to accept this loss. But it has to bring us closer together.

It should put added pressure on them. The source of urgency has to come from the decision maker, in me, and it also has to come from within, the dressing room. That urgency has to be addressed and solidified. Not just talked about, but done.

We have to deal with the hand that we?re dealt. We have to look at it as the glass being half-full. This is a challenge. A lot of times when you?re short, it becomes a time to learn. That?s what we?re hoping is going to happen.

Every day this week, before practice or after practice, we talked about what we did last weekend. It was only as a friendly reminder as to what we need to do, almost as if we need a wake-up call every day.

We?re going to have to be mentally prepared, as well as physically prepared. We?re trying to look at both departments equally and make sure we?re concentrating on both sides.

I think it?s there. I don?t think any player in our dressing room is worried about the challenge that?s ahead of us. If we take that framework-- that mindset -- that we?re not scared of anything, we?re going to be fine.

You score an empty-net goal and it?s 5-2, it should be done. But they get a third goal. That?s the part that worried me coming into (Sunday). We thought we just did enough. You have to work 60 minutes. We took some things for granted. We were three seconds away from getting a point, and it was a precious point.

It?s a concern of his, because he?s never been hurt like this before. If that stress is there every day, and it?s not being allowed to go away ..he?s doing the best he can. You have to give players like that credit.

They?re not listening. They?re not getting it.
