We just want to go out there and have fun, put some effort into it and have some fun with the guys and see what happens.

I think we need a bit more effort. Well, I know we need a bit more effort out there. I think that (the Wings) had some bounces that we didn't have. … They had some good bounces, but we've got to put a bit more effort out there to have a shot to beat one of those teams, one of the top three or four (squads) in the league.

It's a fun theme to play around with.

We have to come out with a bit more intensity than we did. We have to be smarter with the penalties. After a while, it's going to bite us, and it did there in the second period. We can't continually keep doing that. If we can come out with great intensity and play disciplined, then we've got a great shot.

That was huge for us, you know?

When we took a couple steps back, he took a couple steps forward. That's exactly what we wanted at that time.
