On how the team handled the offense-defense balance:
I thought it took us a little while to really settle into the proper balance. I thought we were pushing offensively early in the game and did generate some good looks in the first period, where we gave up too much. In fact, I thought we gave up in the first period than we gave up in the entire game the other day. But over time, through the game, I thought we settled down in that area. That was a really good sign.
What I like most about the game: In game where we go into it without two very important players for us, in a game where we get down on a shorthanded goal the way that we did, we responded right away.
