Pavelski’s line, have they been tenacious enough?
COACH McLELLAN: They have been. They don’t come to the rink and decide to take it down a notch. They’ve worked just as hard. I think the difference is the opposition is that much better. We’ll have to find a way to help them. You can see that Chicago is extremely quick and they hunt pucks down. It doesn’t give them as much time and space as they’ve had in previous series. Q. Would you like to see a little bit more nastiness maybe? COACH McLELLAN: Well, it’s a fine line. You know, it depends on how you describe ‘nastiness.’ If we’re sitting in the penalty box, we have no chance of coming back in the series. We’d like to be physical. We’d like to get after their defensemen down below the goal lines and prevent them from jumping in. You have to place the puck properly, have some speed on the forecheck. Nastiness, I’m not sure that’s going to get us what we want. The tenaciousness is probably a better word for us. Let’s go back to Game 1, traffic in front of the net wasn’t an issue at all.
