In the All-Ireland senior football final, Armagh's strategy involved clearing the ball to protect a slender lead, which ultimately led to a score from Niall Grimley.

"We try to put ourselves in situations every day in practice where we're facing adversity, where we're being pushed to our edge, and that's where you're forced to grow and feel forced to make decisions."

In Tuesday night's win against the Islanders, Lardis posted his first career multi-point game. He scored once and added two assists. Nazar scored and had an assist. Bertuzzi scored and had an assist. That line was easily the Blackhawks' best.

I think, for me, it's his skating and the speed in the middle of the ice more than anything. I really believe that he's attacking in the middle of the ice, he's demanding the puck in the middle of the ice, and he's doing a great job using his size and speed going through people.

"For me, it is puck management," Berube said during his post-game media availability. "I thought our puck management was really good tonight. We made really good decisions with it. We moved it well. We kept our shifts short. We talked about how it is important to keep your shifts short here, and the guys did a really good job of it."

We did a lot of really good things in that game. I think we gave up six chances at five-on-five. You don't lose those games a lot of the time. We did a lot of good things, but the one area of the game we still need to improve upon is the costly turnovers that end up in goals or cost you in general.
