Juice is a competitor. He's played some great games for us in this stretch, ... I know he wants those goals back, but that's the time we have to bail him out at the other end of the rink. The one off the crossbar could have made a difference. We have to have the ability to have a big game offensively for him.

It's humiliating and embarrassing, especially at home.

I haven't seen anything quite like it. We feel comfortable playing in tight games and we've seen the confidence building within this dressing room.

I don't think you'll see such dramatic changes, ... There will be some advantages for guys, and some disadvantages for others. Not being a 225-pound defenceman, I think that's going to be an advantage for me personally.

You can't have enough leadership. To me a great leader is someone who plays every game with his heart on his sleeve. That's Gator.

We're not sure exactly what it is. We want to get back to playing with some intensity at home.

It really is a tough question to answer. We obviously feel very, very good about what's been going on, but with all the changes everywhere it's hard to predict. We think we're ready to make the next step, now we just have to go out and prove it.

We're going to win hockey games on emotion and physical play.

There is only so much you can do with that much talent on the ice.
