I don't care what league you're in — when you play six (games) in eight (nights) you're going to be back on your heels. With the injuries we have, you're going to be in tough.
I enjoyed each and every one of those guys, all year long. This is our first year of starting a program, (and) I think we made great strides in terms of the expectation level for our team.
I said it before the game - I thought playing after the Christmas break, the team that plays (its) second game is going to have the advantage. We couldn't finish in the skill areas because a lot of skill is out of our lineup right now.
I think (playing the previous night) was an advantage to them.
I think he should celebrate how he got here, because it's a great story, ... At the very least, now he knows he's done what he set out to do and he's getting equal consideration. He's in the group.
I thought when we played when we could, we played a real smart game. We've got some guys who were a little bit behind and drew hooking penalties and I don't think the way the game was called helped us.
I was disappointed with our inability to be stronger in the defensive zone (in the third period). I understand why, but we were pretty darn good through two periods.
I've always felt that we were at our best in the most dire situations this year.
If Manitoba had done something great, you say, 'fine,' but it's tough to hang it on (your goaltender), who played so well for you.
If there was an issue that needed to be dealt with, he didn't need to go embarrass the player, or worse -- and you see that a lot, talking to everybody around them except the player. He'd go to the guy,
It's hard to do down here, where you often play three games in three nights. And they don't have the Centre Ice package in Binghamton.
J-F (Racine) was the fellow I'm most happy with. It's very difficult to sit there with one shot through 12 minutes...And then four breakaways at the end, he stops them all.
Jim Rutherford was the GM at the time. I was an asset. They could have added a player to make them better. Instead, they said we can trade you if you want but would you consider coaching?
Later in his career, he was almost like another coach for us, ... He would lead and we would follow.
Marc will always stand up for his teammates like that. That's why they respect him so much.
