These two games were probably a lot bigger than even the guys realize. These were pretty big games. I don't think we played as well as we can play, but we did what we had to do to win. I thought our goaltending was very sharp when it had to be, and our specialty teams won (Saturday's) game for us.

We've got to go to bed ready to get up and play. When we get to the rink, it's the same thing. Get there, get ready to go out and have fun. It's a great place to go play. It's the best rink in the league. We should be excited to get out there and play.

That's the toughest loss I've ever had. I'm kind of dumbfounded considering they're the team that played last night. You get a goal a minute into the third and … they're doing it their way and they're losing. It's not everybody, but when we play our game plan, we're successful. We're making mistakes on little things that are turning around for goals for them.

Evan has played very well against them. That's one thing that stands out in my mind. We've had great work ethic and great goaltending. If you want to have a good penalty kill, your goalie's got to be your best guy on the ice. Our goaltenders have really stepped up.

I think they held up pretty well. We had a lot of skating, a lot of skill work. I think they did pretty good.

Terry called me, and I thought it was a great gesture on his part. We're rivals, but this is bigger than that. This is good for the league, and I think that's the big picture tonight.

Evan was very sharp. Come the third period, we were able to step up and score a few goals.

Not playing at home for almost a month, this is something we can carry into the next seven games. Our biggest focus here the next little while is to leave everything on the ice because we don't have any three (games) in three (nights). We are traveling and out of town, but at the same time, we are traveling. Guys should be leaving everything every shift on the ice.
