It was nice to see the fans out there like that after what we went through during the CBA.

You never critique a win, but there is no question we can get better. It was a scrambling game.

I've said all along, I'm not a huge fan of it because it's too individual,

We have a lot of young players that can step up. The expectations are high on them.

That was so important to get off on the right foot.

The grit that we have, the depth that we have, the intensity that we have throughout the hockey game - that's crucial. It's believing and knowing that we can fight through a little adversity and find ways to win.
