He may not put the numbers up that he used to, but he brings a lot more to the table, in the dressing room and the bench and even the composure he has on the ice.

We just played three (games) against Chicago and we had two with Columbus, so we still feel like we haven't played our best hockey. That's what we're working on right now. We've had lapses during games.

It is tough when you think you win. We were hoping if we got off the ice soon enough, they wouldn't review it.
bit definitely few flying hit necessary seeing sitting surprise waiting watching win
It was a bit of a surprise that on their first few dump-ins you were waiting for someone to come flying in and hit you and they're sitting back at the blue-line. It's definitely not what (Edmonton) is used to watching and what we're used to seeing from them, but they're going to do what they feel is necessary to win a series.
