Obviously you don't ever want to give up short-handed goals. Tonight that one probably let them back in the game. We had a chance to really put them down, but it was a real momentum breaker.

You wear down your penalty killers, and the guy who aren't killing the penalties are sitting on the bench with their legs stiffening up.

I don't know if there's any ideal team to face. But any team that comes stumbling into the playoffs would be a good one.

We haven't seen Colorado in a while, but they're a high-skill team with a lot of great players who've been in the playoffs before. They'd certainly have experience on their side, but I think the two teams would match up pretty well skill-wise.

They've a very physical team, and I'm sure that would be a tough, tough series. We do have that 4-0 edge against them and that's a good mindset, but I think a series against them would be tough on any team.

I think right away (following the two wins), you could see what they did (to us). We went into Minnesota with a lack of urgency. I don't know whether that's carried on, but (the Red Wings) took the opposite approach and they've been working hard since then.
