We can catch (Gwinnett). It's this road trip that's going to be the defining point. Either we'll catch up or they'll pull farther ahead of us.

It's been great. We started off a little shaky. We had two good practices after that and that got us back to form.
good great form
It's sore. I'm definitely not 100 percent, but they need me out there.
They're going to be hungry coming in here, especially playing against Neilson. I'm sure they really want to beat us because we've beat them every time this season and they definitely want to beat Neilson.

From one year to the next, Chris has improved so much. You could see it in the playoffs last year. His big thing is his skating. He's such a great skater that he can play forward and defense. And he's got the best hands on the team, stick-handling wise.

Intensity is the key. They're going to come out hitting. We've got to match their hitting. There are going to be some ugly goals around the net. That's how we have to score? Crashing the net.
