Coach Maurice:  How would he describe the start of the season for Dustin Byfuglien?  Is today the day they flip the switch as they prepare for the games this week?  On acclimatizing to the differences this week.  On working with the glass at Hartwall Arena.  Has he decided on a plan for the goalies?
