On the road, just like anybody else, we try to be patient and see what they can bring. We expected them to be more aggressive at home, but it looked like every time we tried to push it there was no reaction from them. So we just continued to keep pushing.

We faced a lot of tough teams on this road trip. But we changed a lot of things before this game and played better defensively. We had better control of the puck. It's like we started from scratch. I've seen the changes, I think we can turn this thing around. We've got most of our guys back (from injury). Hopefully this was the start.

Skill and power don't mean anything. You need heart and you need everyone on the team believing that they can win.
