We're not pointing the finger at nobody. (The offense) puts three points on the board, we should win the game.

I'm not going to get into finger pointing now. I did call for oversight hearings — I wouldn't have done that if I weren't concerned. We've got to do better.

It was a breakdown. You can't start a game off like that. There's no excuse. We've got to stop sugarcoating things. Everybody's got to get better.

Our offense needed to step up and give our defense a breather, go down and put points on the board. And that's what we did.

They can put points on the board in a hurry, but at times they'll let you back into the game. You've got to execute and get a tempo and we did.

[Chris Chelios points the finger at the decline of offense in the NHL squarely in one direction?the league's 30 coaches.] As long as coaches play their marquee players for 15 minutes a game, it's not going to change, ... Let them play 25-30 minutes and let them score, that's the way it should be. But it's coaches and their systems.
