They've always played tough games against us, so we've known about them for a while. Now the rest of the league is starting to find out.

He's a crafty, keen player. Crafty in the way he goes about it on the ice and keen on the way he picks up things and reads plays.

205

He sees them as well as anybody, and I trust what he has to stay.

We were fortunate to win in a shootout. Marty was excellent and he made some big saves for us, and we found a couple of ways to score.

It's very hard choices. It's not as if somebody is not capable or not getting the job done. But at the end of the day, it makes us a better team.

His timing was perfect. Going into the third period with the lead, you should win. Especially when you score right at the buzzer. It's really deflating.

When you can't make plays under pressure and you're not willing to win 1-on-1 battles, then I guess that's the game. Then the bounces. I'd like to see how many bounces go to the team playing with more desperation. That's kind of the way it happened tonight.

The message today was to prepare for our game and what we need to do to win. Tonight is the night that it was really put to the test because you cannot get caught up in everything that is going around.

We do have concerns with the perception of our game and the credibility of our game.
