We have some sad faces in that locker room. I'm proud of my players. We're here to compete ... but there are some things a lot bigger than [losing].

The players are feeding off him and we can see that in the locker room. It's a great story, I'm happy for Curtis and he's deserving of all the accolades he's getting right now.

He left. He quit because he felt he was playing for everybody else. His heart wasn't in it. That's sad because we felt he had a great future here.

I told the guys in the locker room that I was proud of them. This was a tough game. I like this team because they don't give up. The results just haven't gone our way.

This stops the bleeding. Things were starting to get negative around the locker room, players were getting on each other. But we get a win like this, it relaxes us. Now, we've just got to come out and play and get the next one.

I can tell you that gambling was never an issue in our locker room. J.R. (Jeremy Roenick) admitted he was gambling. That guy makes a lot of money, but that doesn't make it right.
