On what Patrick Kane did effectively in Game 5:
He had the puck a lot more, which is a little bit related to special teams and a lot related to overtime. But you know what? He’s a special player. He doesn’t have bad games. He has good games or great games. Did he have three or four points, I think? Great players are going to do that.
On whether he’d like to avoid getting a “track meet” and rely more on possession:
Well, both teams are fast teams, so possession is usually in the transition part of the game where the defensemen get the puck up to the forwards. Obviously there’s been times where we’ve been better than them, and there’s been times where they’ve been better than us. I don’t think it’s necessarily a track meet, but i think that both teams have enough top guys that when they get it, they can make it look like a track meet. I mean, I think when you talk about Drew or Duncan, those guys make that sort of game happen.
