You never critique a win, but there is no question we can get better. It was a scrambling game.

The grit that we have, the depth that we have, the intensity that we have throughout the hockey game - that's crucial. It's believing and knowing that we can fight through a little adversity and find ways to win.

Never critique a win,

I really like his game. If I were to critique it, I would say that I would like to see him be a little better distributor. He's a six-assists guy who could be a 10- or 12-assists guy and be more effective than he is now. And I think when he makes that next step . . . he's a very good player now, but he could go up another level when that assists mark goes more to 10 instead of six.

There's no question that's the No. 1 thing we've got to get fixed between now and the Vikings game. We have to get our run game going.

We've got to salvage this trip. We have to win, no question about it.
