We need to get guys re-energized and refocused. This should be the greatest week of their lives ... they should be having fun.

It's a good way to get more guys involved. We have four guys who deserve to wear (the A) and not just two.

It was a hard fought game, our guys played a tough game. They're a team that plays really hard and our guys really came to work tonight.

Look at guys like Larry Bird and George Brett and John McEnroe; that's what they did in their careers. They all wanted to be the guy under the microscope late in the game or late in the match. So you just take on that know-how that that's part of your responsibility, and you learn that's what makes it exciting. That's what makes it fun!

When those guys are energized and defending, everybody else kind of jumps on the train.

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.
