On being a scratch Wednesday in Dallas: ``I knew I wasn't playing the way I should so I think they threw in some other guys to create some energy. My role is to create energy and make it hard on the forecheck. I felt the last two games I wasn't really doing that, so I understand the situation and I know I have to pick it up.''

``I thought the first game went well but the last two I just felt like I was chasing the puck and wasn't involved, that I didn't really have an impact. After those two games, I felt like I could do more and it just wasn't happening.''

It did look like he had lost the scent. It is great to know he sees it as well. He should be able to convert that information into practice. He has taken the corporate slight as a motivational tool. The Boston game should show if he takes it to heart.
