We haven't gotten off to good starts, so that's important for us to do in both games. We want to come home on a good, positive note. L.A. is struggling, but is still a good hockey team. And San Jose, with Thornton in the lineup, that makes them even more dangerous offensively. The good thing for us is we've seen Thornton a lot, so we know his strengths and weaknesses. -Brendan Witt

I think it's a willingness to work. I think our work ethic is not very good in the third. And you can see that in the games. But it might also be a learning experience with the younger guys. As veterans, we need to pass on that knowledge. -Brendan Witt

It's going to take time and patience with this group to believe in the system. We've got to keep working at it until we perfect it. You have to know your [responsibilities]. If you make one bad read, the whole thing falls apart. -Brendan Witt

We weren't going to win this battle. They won the last time. This is definitely an owner-friendly agreement. The owners want to make money. And now, if they don't, they don't deserve to have a franchise.
