We went into these last two games expecting to win.

I think it's vitally important that we keep the core together. To let them go and then start over again doesn't make sense to me.

We go back to work on Monday. We got a good lesson against the Pirates. We have to bring some determination to this road trip. It is going to be tough but we have to get through it.

We have to view it as positively as possible or we won't be in the right frame of mind to compete on the court.

I think we're in a pretty good place to launch for next season.

This was a big opportunity for me to show the coach I can play 30 minutes if need be. My focus was to keep Jagr in check and not letting him score any goals. I think I had a pretty good game.
