    Every time they've been faced with the kind of adversity that injury brings, they've managed to step up. It had to be difficult for them. I counted eight new starters that they didn't have a year ago. That's a problem for anyone.

    It's a matter of ABC: When we encounter ADVERSITY, we react by thinking about it. Our thoughts rapidly congeal into BELIEFS. These beliefs may become so habitual we don't even realize we have them unless we stop to focus on them. And they don't just sit there idly; they have CONSEQUENCES.

    Our team really hasn't faced much adversity at all this year, especially in the second half. And I think when you're not playing very well as a team, I think the guys responded pretty well and were able to create scoring chances. They kept at it in a tough rink to play in, and we got the tying goal and we were able to end up winning the game.

    What happens when adversity strikes? And it will, and we'll have to work through those issues. It won't always be the good times in the preseason when everyone's patting you on the back.

    For every game he plays, he just provides more evidence that he belongs. We've watched him close and he's shown no signs of fatigue. It's a long season and we'll go through some adversity as a team and he will as an individual. But we feel comfortable that he's a mature kid.

    We really came together and played as a team. Everybody had energy from one on down to 13. Sometimes it takes adversity for you to get in the right frame of mind.

    We certainly created some adversity for ourselves to overcome out there, ... but I was really pleased with how we responded time in and time out. Nobody's ever happy with penalties. Nobody's ever happy with turnovers. But I think it's most important to establish how you respond to that stuff when it happens in the game.
