More Quotes from Greg Puhalski:
It's all attitude. Some guys are willing to do it. Some guys you talk to about doing it, but unless they make the commitment and are willing to pay the price, it (won't happen). It's a real choice. It's an attitude about getting dirty. You're going to have to have ice packs on your legs and arms. Some guys are very good at it, and some guys need to work at it a lot more.Greg Puhalski
It's going to be difficult to (make a major trade) because so many teams are jostling for playoff position and they're not going to be willing to part with anything without you giving up a lot.

(It was about) playing away from the puck and tying up people. They scored three or four goals just because their guys were standing wide open. We were standing around watching. We lost the game because, defensively, we simply were not very good.

The one thing we've been able to do is get a few extra bodies here, and that has helped. If a player is fatigued or something, you're able to spread around the ice time a little bit. It's also helped with the busy schedule we've had.

We got in that habit of being too protective and not wanting to give something up. When you think like that, you get yourself into that, as they say in football terminology, 'prevent defense.' You can play defense as long as you're aggressive. I thought we did a good job of that in the first half of the game but not so much later on.

The emphasis for us is to keep playing well and keep getting wins. Let's take care of business day-to-day.
