This was the first night I thought Lucas was 100 percent back. Having Wean back at third means we don't have people out of position. Injuries have definitely hurt us this season.

He didn't make the trip because in the third period last night he was having a recurrence of an irregular heartbeat. Obviously, we're concerned about it, so we left him at home.

First Thoughts are the everyday thoughts. Everyone has those. Second Thoughts are the thoughts you think about the way you think. People who enjoy thinking have those. Third Thoughts are thoughts that watch the world and think all by themselves. They’re rare, and often troublesome. Listening to them is part of witchcraft.

We let them get 11 in the first quarter. Then we only allowed nine points in the second and third quarters combined. That's huge for us.

I thought late-night was crowded... the format's repetitive.

The exchange rate between first-world lives and third-world lives in disaster stories in the media is about 50:1.
