Blackhawks Working Out Major Issues As They Hold Players Only Meeting

"We had a good heart-to-heart. That's the brotherhood. You're not putting anybody down. That's not what we're here to do. It's more of being brothers and being able to talk about it and figure it out as men."

"That was kind of the message, that we're a team here, we're brothers. It's not putting anybody down, it's to make everybody better."

"Just being connected. Being simple when we need to be, time and clock management. The little things of the game. It's the little details that we're off. Our shift lengths are too long. It's just small things like that that can really kill you in games."

"They hear enough from me before and during the game. If they feel there's something that needs to be said, it usually goes a longer way when the leadership guys and whoever feels they need to speak up."
