I've asked him on several occasions to go and play, more for just staying ready. Instead of practicing here, go play. But that's happened in the past where players have chose not to go. I don't hold that against them. They almost feel that practicing at this level is better than playing at the American League level. I've seen a few American League games and it isn't near what it was last year. So there may be a case in point for that.

We're not happy with the way we've played against them, there's no disguising that. We need to make a statement.

From a work ethic standpoint and skating, we did a lot of great things in the game. To bounce back after the dismal 30 minutes we played against Montreal, we did a lot of good things.

I think we're going to rebound. Will it be Friday? I hope, but it's a monumental task against a team that's going really well.

Our opponent who is coming in here next has been very tough on us. We're going to rebound. Is it going to be Friday? I hope, but that's a monumental task against a team that's been going really well.
