Steve's making the majority of the catches, but our offense isn't designed just to get him the ball, ... He's just getting open and making some great plays, and Jake is hooking up with him.

Whether it's getting Steve catches or Stephen Davis a lot of carries, as long as we're efficient, it really doesn't matter.

I've always had an idealistic streak about storytelling in that I believe we owe more to audiences than repeatedly bludgeoning them over the head while stealing their lunch money.

That's something special, to have the type of quarterback that Donovan is and to have the type or receiver that Terrell is. For those guys to keep hooking up game after game, and to go into every game knowing that is potentially a touchdown waiting to happen at any given point, as a defensive player you love that. I'm definitely excited for those guys and the way they've been able to click.

We had to be disciplined, and we weren't that disciplined in the first half. We got kind of rattled and we just started hooking the ball.

I do like the centre-ice stuff when there's not the hooking and holding. I like that the trap is out. But we have to have a little sense in the other end. We just can't have players with clear sailing. We have to have a little battle in front of the net. That's my problem. The fans like it, though. They like the shootout and I like the shootout, I like the tag-up rule. All in all, it's good.
