On how the team responded after a slow start:
Early on, our legs weren’t there, and our hands weren’t there in the little puck plays. Pittsburgh cames hard. They are a very good forechecking team that applies a lot of pressure.
We were under siege, but our structure didn’t break on it. The goalie made some saves. We hung in there with our structure in our own zone.
On whether he’s achieved buy-in quickly from the group:
It is still a work in progress, for sure. In training camp, the guys really bought into what we are trying to accomplish and achieve.
