I think the mud is a natural environment for them. When it gets cold they go into the mud to keep from freezing to death. |
I think we gave a good effort and we did just about everything right in order to win hockey games, except for scoring goals. I have to hand Huet credit. He played a good game -- a really good game. But you forget about this one and go again (today at the Garden against Carolina). That's what you do. |
I was aggressive at both ends and took advantage of my opportunities. |
I was just aggressive on both ends. |
I was looking forward to showing some character by giving a good effort all the way to the end of the year. I thought there was a good chance that maybe we could end the season with a win and feel good about ourselves. But it wasn't to be. |
I was very fortunate to coach with Chick Campbell. He gave me a lot of responsibilities there, so now being the head guy at North is not a total shock. It made it easier on my part. I am lucky to have a good staff with me. They're willing to put a lot of work in (to start to) build this program. |
I wasn't surprised, really. I obviously wasn't at my best. I don't want to make excuses. I can't say I was tired. It just wasn't there for me. I will take the blame for what happened. I didn't get the bounces and I probably made some of the saves harder than they needed to be. |
I'm just going with the flow now. I'd seen tape of the previous game and knew how high the score was. It's just a matter of me getting a better feel each and every game with my own teammates and my own sets here. |
I'm just happy that the hard work has paid off to be able to come in and contribute to a team that runs like this. To get thrown in the mix and be a part of that is special. To come in and help a team that's been down 0-2 (to Dallas) and almost get a double-double is great. |
I'm just ready to move forward. |
I've been in that situation before, just coming off the bench and being ready to play. There was a nice flow. A nice rhythm. It's just a matter of me getting a better feel each and every game. |
It also reminds them people back home in the Savannah-Hinesville area are supportive of them and they haven't forgotten about them, so it truly means a lot and we appreciate what WTOC and the schools have done in donating. |
It is disappointing, but it's been a season of disappointments. At least we showed heart and came back in the third. |
It was definitely a big shot because it was going back and forth and they were trying to get back in the game. Boris did a good job finding me in the corner and I just knocked it down. |
It was just a total team effort. We did a good job making everything tough for them. |
