confidence everybody hate helped leaders lost might stepped stronger though true
We never lost confidence even though everybody else did. Actually, I even think it may have helped us as a team, what we had to go through, because it made us stronger as a team. The true leaders stepped up. I hate to say it, but it might have helped us.

I can't get mad about things. It's too late in the season to get mad. The team needs me to be successful. So if I get mad about that and if I pout about my situation, I'll bring the team morale down and everything just gets worse. So I've just got to keep my head up.

If that's the role he wants to give me, I'll just be a scorer.

We started this new trapping thing that we do and I think guys like it more. We get to be a little more aggressive and make things happen. The change in our defensive strategy allows us to be more aggressive. That plays in our favor.

We haven't had very many road tests, and that's starting to catch up with us a little bit.
