The only thing that would be up in the air are those final games against Cleveland. There it will be what (Flaherty) feels is best for his game. The other thing is we need to have Max playing well because we might need him. You never know what's going to happen.

They're a very strong team, like Syracuse, like Toronto, like Rochester. Our division is probably the toughest of the four, so whoever we play against it's going to be a huge battle.
