He's an agitator and if you let him get to you then he's effective. But we've got agitators too, we just didn't happen to have our agitators going that night I guess.

It's nice for Blaine to have the big assist nights like he did against Edmonton, but the Blaine Manning we need is the one that gets that three, four, five goal games. That's what we need from Blaine and he was certainly there for us today.

They've got the recipe for a great deal of success, as we feel we do.

We still believe in what we've got here. We're going to work out of this little funk ourselves.

How he doesn't get more recognition, with not being selected to all-star games and things like that is beyond me. We're glad that he's a big part of our team.

It's always tough to move guys, especially classy guys like Mat. I wish him all the luck in the world except on Saturday night.

I don't think anybody predicted things would be this tight.

It's always tough to move guys, especially when it's such a classy guy like Mat. But we're in a situation where we're sitting too many guys out who are doing the same thing, and there was some interest from Edmonton.

Bobby didn't have a very good night. We didn't have a very good night, but whenever you get beat you have to give credit where credit is due and that was with Rochester tonight. They're a good club.
