Good teams bounce back. I don't think the fans enjoyed the game as much as they could have because I don't think we played as hard as we have to.

Our fans don't want to see us win the Wild Card. They want to see us win the division.

They would just follow whatever I did. They had no say in anything. Grier was an eight-year vet, and I was a rookie. Basically, it came out like I was the leader of the pack. And it just rolled.

It's tough to replace a guy like Miroslav Satan, but we have a bunch of young guys eager to step up.

That's the style you have to play against that team out here. You have to slow them down, play hard, physical hockey. That is what we did for a period.

We don't like losing. It seems like when we lose we come back with a better effort. We just don't want to lose two in a row.
