They were fantastic. There's plenty of work to go around. Ray helped me (in Saturday's game) just getting the rust off; I was pretty much stuck into his left shoulder.

I think assistant coaches should be delegated responsibility and be given input on every aspect on the ice.

The team really competed well but bottom line is we needed the two points.

That was a team win, if I have ever seen one. Everyone from the goalie out tonight just competed. That was the word for tonight, compete.

It's all about the players, they get all the credit. That's what we needed, total effort and we got that tonight.

I was just proud of our whole team. This is a team win if I have ever seen one. From the goalie out, we competed.

We played a solid 14 minutes but the bottom line is you got to play 60 minutes, it's a playoff atmosphere and we've got to do a better job. We've got to play a lot better defensively in our own end.

I was just proud of the whole team. That's a team win if you've ever seen one. Everyone competed, and we got some great goals. I thought we were very hungry taking the puck to the net.

It's all about the players every night. We can stand there and tell them what to do, but they're doing it. And all the credit goes to the players and my assistant coaches, Ray Bennett and Mark Hardy. They were fantastic. I kind of struggled on the bench at times because of the pace the game was going, so it's going to take some time.
