At the end of the year, we have probably one of the softest defenses in the league. That stuff just needs to get better.

I think we've been probably disrespected more than any team in the league this year.

I think we've been probably disrespected more than any team in the league this year. I think we've been given up on by a lot of media people, a lot of fans, our own fans, other people around the league, and I think if there's one team that feels like they're disrespected it's us.

That was one of the softest performances by a BU team in six years - in every way.

We're going to see probably one of the hardest (working), most physical teams in the league coming in. They don't score a lot of goals, but they play hard. A lot of times, they don't even want to play the puck, they just want to play the man. It's Calgary, in-your-face, finish-checks hockey. It's going to be a big challenge for us and the bigger the challenge, the bigger we're supposed to respond.

There's so much parity in the league nowadays with free agency and every year, you've got probably 12, 15 teams that are capable of taking it all the way if everything kind of lines up for them. It's good to mix it up a little bit.
