The first goal, that was very dissatisfying from the standpoint of a group that's talented enough not to give up that kind of goal. That's also an area we have to be better. You can't draw that up on a chalk board. We have to compete better.

That's what he has to strive for ? that's the goal he should be setting.

There's not many who have a better or more talented (trio).

There is no game without the players, and no victories for a team or its coach without loyal and talented individuals on the management, coaching and support staffs.

Our shooting the puck in was lousy and we did not recover it very well, ... If you are standing around, you are a lot easier to keep off the scoreboard.

The first period went as we expected, we were a little bit tentative. They were assertive and aggressive - it was not what we expected from the scouting report. I don't want to compare this to 2002, because everything is different, but this was a good game for us.
