If we run into them in the tournament, I certainly would expect our guys to have a chip on their shoulders. There are some bitter feelings. ... We want to show people why we got that seed.

We need to have a solid work ethic and come prepared to win hockey games. If we do that, I feel like we can make a run in the tournament. But everyone now must understand that we need to play with a sense of urgency.

That loss took away a lot of the swagger that we had coming into the new year.

(Jerome) definitely played hard and wanted it more than we did. We gave up too many odd-man breaks and that's how they scored the winning goal. ... We also have to be better at finishing.

This is a very, very upsetting loss for us. It leaves us with an empty feeling.

We want to reclaim what we think is ours. Winning the (CHC) title is one of the things that we want to accomplish this year. ... We just want to continue to play our game and let everyone else try to catch up.
