I thought [the defeat by the Devils] was the first time we didn't grit it out like we had. If it was another team, maybe we could have won. But it was New Jersey, and they negated a lot of our scoring opportunities. We didn't have the second or third effort offensively that we've had in the past.
- Ken Hitchcock
We're very confident that we have a real good team, and we are really confident that we can compete and beat anybody in this conference. But we also are fully aware that the Stanley Cup champion is one hour and 15 minutes down the road from us, and the team that won the Presidents' Trophy [Ottawa] ended our season in the playoffs. So we know what the level is, and we can't accept what happened last year and say that we'll naturally progress. We are going to have to push ourselves individually and collectively.
