There’s been one constant with this team all season, and that’s been defense. I told them we had to concentrate on slowing things down and being very deliberate. It wasn’t pretty, but we got what...

At halftime it was like walking into a morgue. We talked about defense and rebounding. Maybe it’s happening because we’re playing a lot of kids and we get out of a rhythm on defense.

Our defense was OK, but OK isn’t good enough for the NHL, and OK doesn’t get you to the playoffs. So it’s probably a classic case of possibly taking a step back to take a...
