You don't turn this ship around by removing the team's best player through three games.

This is on the skaters. They have to find a way.

I always think of a Bob Hartley story at this time of year - he was talking to Patrick Roy before the Avs went on their Cup run with Ray Bourque. He said 'Patrick, you need to steal us one game every series. I'm going to win one game with my matchups. The other two are up to the players."

I don't consider game 1 to be the Stolen game. I'd suggest it probably has to be game 4, or this is going to be a real short trip.
