I certainly don't want to take anything away from Vancouver. They are a very good team. But, we didn't have enough guys compete to the level of their ability.

He's the best player on the ice. We need to know where he is all the time.

They've played some great hockey on this trip.

It's helped our whole team. We still need to elevate our play quite a bit, but we seem to be playing better for longer stretches (of games).

It's helped us in a lot of areas.

They're not a team we want to fall behind two or three goals to. So we want to have a strong start, get some offense early, but not at the expense of defense.

(Specialty teams) are going to continue to be very important. Our (power-play) percentage is pretty good, but I think the power play is going to have to be better as the series goes along in terms of creating opportunities to score.

Every game on the trip so far we've played some good hockey.

With the confidence not being there right now, it's important for people to step up and push other people to elevate their games.

We knew tonight was going to be tough. We were a tired, tired hockey team that won two big emotional games, and hung on for dear life last night.
