As challenging as six of nine games on the road in the month of October [is], is it a good bonding situation for a young club here and a different team from what you had last year?

Mike Babcock: I hadn’t thought about it much, to be honest with you. I just know where we play the next couple of days. The biggest thing for me is we’re just trying to get better every day. I think our group is working real hard at that, getting an understanding of how we play. When we play right, and you get good goaltending, you’ve got a good chance most every night.
