Everybody's schedule is tough. I think we have one of the toughest. I don't know if there's another team that plays 17 games in 30 days. But I think the advantage we have built in is we've utilized four lines. We've been a pretty balanced team when it comes to ice time.

He's been put on the concussion program again, but the first one was so severe I think the program may go longer. There's no set time on when he can be back or when he can even resume practice. Symptom-free for a week doesn't necessarily mean he can have contact again. That could take weeks.

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.

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.

It's the one area we've really been working on. We did a much better job tonight, and we needed it to win the game.
