Once they get the lead they sit back even more. They sit back and play well defensively.

The grit that we have, the depth that we have, the intensity that we have throughout the hockey game - that's crucial. It's believing and knowing that we can fight through a little adversity and find ways to win.

The great thing about him is that he's so good in his own zone and can contribute at the other end. It's great to see a guy that works so hard get a couple of big goals for us.
bit create drew front frustrated havoc maybe next surprised trying
Initially, maybe I wasn't surprised at his reaction. But then the next one I thought, 'What is he thinking?' I was just trying to create a little bit of havoc in front of the net. Obviously, that's my job. I drew him into another penalty, he got a little frustrated and we capitalized with another goal.
