That's not fun. Hockey is no fun if you aren't playing for anything.

Knowing it's a rival game, we knew they were going to play way above themselves. We just didn't get the job done.

You've heard me say it before: There needs to be more desperation in the room, more passion. In the past, our niche was we worked hard no matter what. That's been our identity. This last little stretch, that hasn't happened.

We got in trouble early. We were in the box a lot.

Fatigue played in there, but we were able to muster some energy to come out with a win.

It's good to be home sometimes, but it's a breath of fresh air to get on the road, play in some different buildings, grab some dinners and hang with the boys.

He just told me to relax and I told him I'd try to do the same things I did the month before, like being consistent defensively, taking some pride on the penalty kill and playing hard against top players.

You can hear it. You chuckle when you see them get on a guy like that. But it means a guy must be doing something to get that kind of reaction.

For some reason, we lose focus and let them get back in the game. To give up as many points as we did is just a lack of concentration on our part. We need to do a better job and we will.
