Just a lot of head games with myself. It took me a little longer, but it definitely paid off. ... I think it really helped my defensive game, especially trying to contain some of those forwards.

We haven't been very disciplined. We have to take our stick off guys. That's just about learning. Fifty games in, these are very important points for us.

We're definitely not believing we're done in this room. We've just got to keep going. It gets tighter and tighter. And, yeah, these games mean a lot, but we have to go right back at it [today].

It's very difficult when we're always leading and then we give up a goal in the last minute. Obviously they had a power play, but it's very frustrating. We've given away points like this -- probably nine games, off the top of my head, we've given away. Yesterday ... same thing. Those are points we're giving other teams that I don't think should have them.

Hopefully, this pushes us to the next level. A playoff spot is out there. It's definitely attainable.

We're tied to a 10-game schedule and the dome date (the Show-Me Bowl games in St. Louis on Thanksgiving weekend),
