Guys were joking saying Savy is back so now you'll be ready to go. I kind of laughed and said, 'Oh, you guys are full of it.' They were right. |
I have a hard enough time going from right wing to center. I don't know how they go from forward to defense. It's a totally different game. |
I think the Zamboni driver has a job here next year and that's about it. |
I think they handled their first playoff game really well. I didn't think they looked any different from guys who have been five or six years in the playoffs. If we're going to go on a run, (the rookies) are going to be a big part of it ? just like they were last year. |
If Savy was 5-10, 5-11, 6-foot, we wouldn't be talking about him. He wouldn't be in this league. He'd be in a higher league. It's obvious. |
It was frustrating. You've got to give them credit they played well and we couldn't get anything going. We tried a bunch of different combinations and nothing was clicking. |
It's going to be a lot like it was last year. They're going to come out and they're going to hit us a lot. They're going to play physical. Guys are going to have to take the punch after the whistle and suck it up. |
That's two months without a win. It was awful. It was hell. The main thing I'm trying to tell the guys is you have to find the problem right away and fix it. Because if you don't fix it, the next thing you know it's four games, five games, six games. |
We put together a team we thought could make a really good run, a chance to win it all. We thought we were playing well enough. A couple bad bounces here and there. Not to take nothing from Gwinnett. They're a hell of a team. They played well they deserved to win the series. It's kind of a shock. I didn't think I'd be thinking about the summer this early. |
