good liked open pieces playoffs seen
They're all really big pieces of our lineup. We have been really good without them and I would've liked to have seen them make the (NHL) playoffs ... but we'll take them back with open arms.
behind bit drew game guys helped hooking penalties played smart
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.
darn defensive good inability stronger third understand zone
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.

Later in his career, he was almost like another coach for us, ... He would lead and we would follow.

He got his first goal, that's great, and we need to get contributions from all over right now. I'm very please especially with all the injuries we've had. We had six guys in the lineup tonight that I'd never met a month ago.

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?
