It's not a question of shutting him (Thornton) down. It's a question of playing against him hard and our guys have played against him hard, and we played against him hard.
You look at what he did at the World Cup and what he did in the Stanley Cup final and all the way through the playoffs for Tampa Bay. He goes to another level. We love guys like that on our team.
It was a hard fought game, our guys played a tough game. They're a team that plays really hard and our guys really came to work tonight.
There's going to be a lot of good unrestricted free-agent defensemen (available) this summer. We're in the game for those guys now. We have the opportunity to bring in some impact players.
We need to get guys re-energized and refocused. This should be the greatest week of their lives ... they should be having fun.
