"Well, first off, I started dying laughing," John Tavares said, laughing again at the memory of his general manager cussing. "There's definitely a perception about the team here and people obviously have a right to their opinions, but being here every day, we know what we have and what we're working toward. We've made a lot of changes within the locker room; obviously, Garth added guys and made changes. We're driven to win and we're trying to find the right solution.

"We know we're not going to be getting a lot of publicity or a lot of hype from people, and that's fine. We just have to go about our business and do what we can do to get to where we want to be."
