It's pretty obvious we didn't show up (Saturday). We got outworked in every zone. We took penalties and didn't kill them off. It was an embarrassing showing on our part.

Maybe, they were thinking about it a little bit. I haven't thought too much about it, but you read about it and hear about it. So, it's going to be on your mind a little bit.

No one's said anything yet. I don't know what's going on. But it would be pretty cool to play for a Calder Cup.

You can look at the positives and say we were building something at the end of the year. With the core of guys here, you can see a future. I know they've been saying that around here for a while, but it's pretty obvious.

This is a great opportunity for a lot of guys. Coach always says it, but it really is. No one can really think that they're not part of the group that it's a good opportunity for, and think, 'Ah, I'm already here.' Everyone who's playing a lot might not be playing as much on a really good team with a great record.

They're one of the best teams in the league, and we played them real well last time. If we can do that again, hopefully, we'll have the same result.

There's not much you can say. We were outplayed.

In practice, you see him score a lot on breakaways. He's got a great shot. He's got real good hands, so I wasn't surprised at all.

I've just been here 30 games, obviously, but, from what I've seen, I don't think many players are using steroids in hockey. I'll bet it's the least in any of the major sports, beside basketball. Football and baseball, I'm sure, have way more than hockey.

I hope so. It's pretty obvious he played well. Hopefully both of us can keep improving together.
