This is a mystery year for us. It's pretty rare in this league when the core of your team is 17, and that's what we have. We have the potential to have a lot more skill and score a lot more goals this season.

We decided to take a chance, and it worked out pretty good for us.

You can't step off the bench to go fight, that's wrong. That doesn't belong in the game. I think the league, as it always does, will do the right thing in handling that.

He's better nervous than comfortable. He seems to thrive on the crowd and the noise. He probably hasn't played enough yet to get comfortable, so maybe that's why he's been so good.

He was kind of like our team against Vancouver. He got points, but I don't think he had some of his better games of the year. It's typical of what we did.

It's easy to know the guys who are on the team, but we have that bubble of eight to 10 spots that we need to make decisions on. All the guys that are competing for those spots did a good job. We'd rather have that. It's going to make for difficult decisions eventually, but it's good to see that the guys competing for those spots can play.
