This team is on the upswing. I'm very anxious and very thankful to be a part of this for the next little while.

That's good, but over the course of an 82-game schedule it's going to wear a team down.

Yeah, but over the course of an 82-game schedule, it's going to begin to wear a team down. We can't ask Louie to make those saves every night. It's putting a lot of pressure on him.

We've played a month of playoff games. I think for the age of our team, guys have done a pretty good job. We've battled pretty hard and are going to continue to battle. It's unfortunate we couldn't have a little slip-up.

I'm just so thankful she's safe. I don't know how anxious she (Mary) is to go back, but I want her to stay for several months.

When Gary went down, it deflated our bench a bit.
