felt fire great known marc needed team
Marc is a great coach, a great friend. But we felt our team needed a kick-start. We didn't play with the fire we've known in the past. At some point, you need a new direction.
behind bench change felt fire known needs played team
We need some new energy, some new juice. We felt our team needs a kick-start, that we haven't played with the fire we had been known for in the past. A change behind the bench was the first place to start.
behind start team
It had to start behind the bench. It's the start of doing some things to the team to make it better.
easy finger good guy hockey players point team
It's easy to point the finger at one guy and I don't think that's fair. At the end of the day, we've got a pretty good hockey team and it's up to the players to perform. They're the ones who go on the ice, not Marc.

We are very excited to add Anson to our hockey team and feel he will be a great fit among our forwards. In eight NHL seasons, Anson has shown that he can score and add an offensive touch every where he has played. We feel his experience will be a great addition to our hockey club.
decisions team
This isn't a one-or-the-other situation. We are going to make decisions that make our team better.
best course helpful picking players throughout year
Picking out one or two players isn't helpful to anybody. With that said, your best players have to be your best players throughout the course of the year if you want to have some success.
game handled liked marc thankful time year
Marc was good. He was very thankful for the time he has had here. He would have liked to have had another year to get back at it. But he's been around this game a long time and handled it very well. Probably better than I did.
best coaches coaching elements evaluate including marc mean
I think Marc Crawford is one of the best coaches in the NHL. It doesn't mean we're not going to evaluate all the elements of our organization, including the coaching staff.
We need some new energy, some new juice.
assistants coach considered good head hopeful obviously point strongly whoever work
Whoever the head coach is will obviously have some say in who his assistants are. I would be hopeful that they will be strongly considered and we will have something to say about that as well. They have done a lot of good work here. At this point they are still with us.

Koltsov, he's back in Russia. His mother is very ill and he wanted to stay back and be with her. He maintains that he that he wants to come back to North America and if he does we look forward to having him. You know, he's a dynamic player. He can create a scoring chance both for you and against you. He does have some great ability, and he was coming along when he went back (to Russia).
deeper
I think we need some new energy, new juice. It does not go any deeper than that.
