FEBRUARY SCHEDULE:
QUOTES TO NOTE:
It's clear what situation we’re in with the deadline coming up.
If we play well as a group and win some games, maybe that could change some people’s minds about who we are.

- Marc Staal
I know that a lot of the physical part of the game and fighting is being phased out.
But I think there’s still room for intensity in the game.
Especially at this time of the year when the hitting picks up and the intensity is at its highest.
Last year some of the nastiest games we played were in the playoffs against Anaheim. It ramps up now.

We’re all so close. I’m not at all concerned with the white noise that surrounds any trade period.
The players are professionals whose responsibility is to focus on their jobs.
It’s the coaching staff’s job to get them to focus on the right things.
