Topics included – Is Ehlers condition related to his malaise from the 1st round and did he skate yesterday?  On the critical nature of game 4, does it change for a coach, is it any different?  Did Ehlers skate yesterday?  Is there a benefit to having the players not thinking about hockey?  How does he find the way to motivate his team without putting too much emphasis on the game?  Does a 5 pm (local) start pose a challenge?  On some of the things that Blake Wheeler would have done to get his team ready between games 3 and 4.  What did he like about how Roslovic fit into the lineup?  On gambling and the NHL.
