They're probably talking about the hit and using the hit as motivation. I expect both teams to be physical ... we're up for every challenge. At the end of the game, our will has to exceed their will and the chips are going to fall where they may.

Danny and Chris were chosen for what they mean to the team, on and off the ice. Both guys show tremendous leadership and determination that will help lead our club.

We want to keep them both ready, but it's a tough situation going into the playoffs trying to play both.

We've had six (penalties) both nights, which I think is very good under the new terms. You look around the league there's been 12, 14. Teams are taking that many penalties, and we don't want to be in that category.

Both goaltenders made great saves in the game, Dom just made more. From where I was standing, he was the difference. I thought he played great. He made great saves.

He's going to be a tremendous asset. He's well-respected. He's passionate about the game. From his practice habits to his workout habits to his preparation for the game, both on the ice and off the ice, no player can question his opinion.
