But we've played 16 games now and every game is (close) like that, with a couple of exceptions. It's getting ridiculous.

I don't know what the other guys felt but I'm sure they were tired. Playing two games in a row and killing penalties is definitely tough.

If we motivate ourselves the way we did in these two games, we'll be an unstoppable team for the rest of the season.

There are still a lot of games to play. It's only half-a-season. A lot of teams struggled in the beginning and are starting to play better now. With these new rules and everything, the standings change every day. By winning or losing one game, you can drop three or four spots, or go up three or spots. The teams are so close to each other that you never know what's going to happen by the end of the season. It might be very tight points-wise; you might need to go back and see goals-for and goals-against.

I don't care. If they don't suspend him and they suspend me, that's being ridiculous. They didn't call him, that means they let them do whatever they want. Are we just going to watch and wait until we get hurt? I'm not going to let that go. I mean, he tried to hurt me. He had a good chance and he barely touched me, and I didn't let go my chance.

We've got to find a way to make it easier on ourselves,
