They have a lot of talent. Many of the advantages entering this season went to clubs like Atlanta, Calgary, ones that have been lousy for awhile, but were not only able to have good young guys but have the (salary)cap in the right spot too. |
They have been three solid teams. They are always competitive games anyway because the crowds are fired up. We hope we can meet the challenge. |
They have not a thing to be embarrassed about. I know they feel they let a lot of people down, including themselves ... This was our best game overall. |
They know they were bad, so I don't want them wondering if they have lost the (trust) of the coach. They should know they will get another chance. |
They obviously didn't know how to handle it. |
They said it was inadvertent but if you check it and look at it, it wasn't inadvertent. He took the kid's feet out. |
They were head-hunting, there should be no place in the game for that. Cowardly, that's all it is ... a bunch of cowards. |
They were trying to help the players adjust with a word of warning, |
They're looming ahead of us as two key games. |
They're not where they are (in the standings) because they don't compete or show up to play. You can bet they'll be ready to go Monday night. |
They're proper selections. They were all part of the 2002 selection process although only Eric and Eddie did go (to Salt Lake City). |
This is a game of mistakes and we made a few at the end, we kept giving them a chance to get back into it. It was a tense game and our guys came off an emotional game yesterday and we didn't have all 20 guys sharp as they should be. |
This is going to be even more onerous than playing a playoff game every second day. We have to pay attention to our own team. We can't control what the teams ahead of us do, but we can control our own game. |
This is the part of training camp where you want to make decisions (based on) 5-on-5, but after something like that, it's hard to do. That was painful. I never had a look at (John) Pohl. |
This journey ended tonight ... the next one starts tomorrow. My plan is to proceed as normal. |
