He is getting back to the level of a really elite player in this league. He and Chris Durand have both been playing very well for us. If we can get our entire lineup on the ice and get things going in the right direction, it's going to be a fun second half.

I think we both played hard. Dubinsky is a great player and he made us pay early and that took the edge off what was a good start for us. We played well. We just had some key breakdowns.

We have confidence in both guys. Both have been sharp. We feel like we're in a really good position with our goaltending.

We liked both players. We didn't pick up one to get both of them here. We think they're both very intelligent young players.

Both teams start at zero and it's even going in. I don't think records have much impact on the series. It puts an edge on the series when there's a rivalry between the two teams. But in preparing, there's no difference. It just makes it a little more exciting.
