We know it all starts with our defense and our talk and let it lead to offense.

Its hard to replace guys like that.Devin Shore scored for Dallas, which lost its second straight and third in four.

The center, reportedly dealing with a back injury, said he never has experienced his current condition before.You almost have to sit around and wait for it to heal and get better, Toews said.
