This was a huge game for us and it really gives us home ice advantage. We have to concentrate and play disciplined hockey and drive hard to the net, and play a little better defense. It makes the trip back a lot better, I'll tell you that. |
We don't make any excuses. We have to play the game with him or without him. We can't dwell on him not playing. We've played without him before. Once he's back, it's a plus. You have to grab the bull by the horns and have somebody step up and be accounted for. There better be somebody to step up and be accounted for. |
