I've got a few players who were on that team. They don't talk about it much, but I'm sure they're thinking about it. We feel it's our time now. We're ready to go.

I know a lot of players on that team, so I know their character. They are going to talk trash and play dirty. That's just the way they are.

We have to make sure our players are disciplined to the point, where they can't put themselves or their team in a situation that's going to cost their hockey club goals, momentum, whatever you want to call it.

I talk about that a lot. I think if you asked one of my players, they'd probably tell you I kill them with that stuff. Just being careful. It's the last thing I told them Sunday night after we broke from the stadium after the game. After this incident, it gave me another opportunity because they were listening. I mean for the guys who kind of tuned me out before, now I had everybody listening and we talked about it, which, I think, is my responsibility as a coach. You know these guys are my family, and it would be like talking to your own kids, you don't want bad things to happen to them so let's try to help them a little bit.

This is probably the deepest team I've had. I have nine or 10 players who are about even. This group wants to get over the hump for everyone.

Before we can talk about a championship, we have to practice like a championship team.
