Danny and Chris were chosen for what they mean to the team, on and off the ice. Both guys show tremendous leadership and determination that will help lead our club.

Maybe Jochen needed to be carried off the ice, and then that's a suspension. That's sad, but maybe that's what it is.

It came down to the guys that are going the hardest. We had a five-on-three where I didn't like the determination. We had a three-on-one where we don't get a shot, and part of that was our decision making wasn't very good.

It would be tough to stand here and explain to you guys how they had our number if we had lost tonight.

We expected to be a good team, but nobody expects something like this.

There's a room in there where the guys are upset, they're not happy. And that just tells you that this might be the best thing for the team. We may, in the long run, get a lot more out of this stretch than you can imagine. And it may be the best thing going into the playoffs.
