This is really a loose bunch. They keep saying to me, 'Coach, we've got to be your favorite team of all time.' I told them 'I don't know. You might be the dumbest.' They definitely have the most fun.

We have a bunch of guys on this team who want to be here and everybody has confidence in each other. It's not like we're going out every game hoping that we can win. I think we're going into every game now with the confidence pretty much knowing that we can win.

I'm trying to be relatively calm but also trying to coach my team as hard as I can.

I'd like to put in my two cents. I'd like to see Matt Millen coach the team, to be honest with you. Because he keeps talking about they need a disciplinarian guy and a hard-nosed guy that kind of fits the character of the city. I think he's the perfect choice to just get out there and start rocking some heads.

We knew we can play with that team. We know we can beat that team.

They executed well, they made a bunch of tough shots. When you play a team like that, you look at them, and you can learn a lot.
