We have players who played for the Phantoms last year who do a lot of things really well that are going to help us,

We?re lucky because those guys (the Phantoms) are 25 steps down the hall,

I've seen young guys who've played great and I've seen them absolutely overwhelmed. I've seen young players literally in the fetal position during a series because they're overwhelmed by the intensity and the emotion of what's going on. And I've seen guys raise their level.

We had nine first-year players against Montreal. Everybody knows our situation. We're limping.

We're not targeting players. Retaliation and all that stuff doesn't have any place.

We had to respond after what happened in Buffalo. We played better and we played the way we have to play to win.
