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.

I don't think you can close the book on three [goalies], even.

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

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.

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.

We played a good third period. We probably had five or six real good chances when we had them on their heels, we had some great opportunities.
