"It will be guys that play well. Maybe the leash is a little shorter now because I'm comfortable with seven (defensemen). Maybe there were times when you don't feel comfortable with all seven, a guy doesn't have a good night, you give him another chance. Well, I think that might be a little different now with seven guys I'd like to see play." -- Rangers coach David Quinn on choosing from seven healthy defensemen
"You want to make sure you're giving your guys freedom to make plays and be creative because that's how you get the most out of them. But that knowledge of when to do it, being a young group, that's where time and experience (are important). We're learning the hard way right now a little bit." -- Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour
