Unfortunately, the lockout probably affected him as much or more than anyone,

That second goal sort of broke our back. Lenny probably would like to have that one back and keep it a 1-0 game. The intensity level from their team was a lot higher tonight than when we played them a few weeks ago in Phoenix.

I watched him and how much he enjoyed it. His success was probably a factor on my wanting to be a coach.

I have some work around the house to do, unfortunately.

And unfortunately, this group probably has more digestion ahead of it.

Ballard's hit tonight was a tremendous hit. I haven't seen that in hockey in 30 years, a hip check like that. We've got to keep believing what we're trying to accomplish here and stay within ourselves, not get too emotionally excited and not get too down, simple as that.
