There won't be a coaching change this year. We're giving everyone a chance to win and (Crawford) is part of that. If the players are looking for a way out, that's not it.

I think Marc Crawford is one of the best coaches in the NHL. It doesn't mean we're not going to evaluate all the elements of our organization, including the coaching staff.

We were holding the ball and giving the defense a break. We were giving the defense a chance to beat you. Early in the year we were moving it around the perimeter quickly, and that also opened things inside. So we have to move more and move the ball more.

Last year we didn't really have the whole coaching thing down,

It's been a struggle, but I think we're staying in games and giving ourselves a chance to win. If we can keep doing that, then hopefully we'll be able to capitalize and get some wins.

We had a chance to win a road game; it's not that easy to do. You can't ever blame anything on one player, it's a whole ball game of things. We had other opportunities. They made a couple of plays and we didn't.
