I think they've brought in some quality veteran guys with Gary and Joe and Marty and Sean,

We've played a month of playoff games. I think for the age of our team, guys have done a pretty good job. We've battled pretty hard and are going to continue to battle. It's unfortunate we couldn't have a little slip-up.

Line chemistry is everything. With the league now, there are so many injuries and guys in and out of the lineup, it's hard to find a line you can get settled on for an extended period of time.

Joe, we could have put him in (Monday). We've got other guys who need more work than he does.
