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.

We've got to take care of the customers we have.

I went to put my stick between his legs and lift his stick up, but I just got him too high. I didn't mean to spear him. It was just an accident.

We just didn't play well in the first two periods. We played great in the third. If we would have just done it all game, we probably would have won.

We gave up a lot of shots, but we did a lot of good things, too. We're happy to get a win. And hopefully, we won't give up as many shots next time.

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.

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

They stayed on us. They played a smart game. They were getting the puck in deep. They limited their turnovers. A lot of times they hit their lead guy. We've got to have guys coming back more and outwork them a little harder.

They say he's one of the best goalie prospects ever. He's awesome.

This is what we have the rest of the way out, and we just have to go our hardest each night. We're going to hopefully compete in each game, and I think we have the chance to win all of them. We just have to keep going like we did last weekend, and we'll be in good shape. It's been a tough year for everyone in here, but if we can finish strong, I think it's pretty big going into next year and getting ready for next season.

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.

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.

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.

It was good to get a point. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the win. But we battled back like we have the past few games. We just have to try to get the two points and learn how to play with the lead instead of playing from behind.

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

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 don't know. It obviously was an accident, but you never know. He's their best player. We'll see what happens as the game goes along, but I really haven't thought about it too much.

He's one of the best players in the league right now, at 18. You can only imagine what he'll be like four years down the road.

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.
