You look at the goal at the end of the [second] period and the shorthanded goal against. That's not going to win you too many games.

Waivers make it more difficult. No manager wants to lose a player for nothing. To lose a player after you've invested all this time and money in him is like cutting your nose off to spite your face.

At training camp, we had to decide what kind of player he should be. Should he just shoot the puck, or should he be a steady defenseman who could do other things? He's got to do more than shoot the puck to play at this level. He had to learn that. He's still not nearly out of the woods, but he's made progress in the games he's played.

He was disappointed. He's a proud athlete. I expect him to respond in the right way.

He basically earned it. Three goalies is a crowd. So something has to be done. I think that he took advantage of his opportunity and it's not like the other guy didn't get an opportunity.

I don't know about Andy's confidence. He's practiced very well, so it's more a mental thing than anything else. He'll have to fight his way through it if he wants to play at this level. The backup job was open in training camp and Andy won it, but that doesn't mean it won't change throughout the year.

I've said it before: You're not going to win in this league with average or below-average goaltending. Tonight it was below average. But Crawford was awesome for a kid that was thrown in there.

When a team makes a trade, it's obviously not happy. Our first two periods were disappointing. We weren't committed to playing together or committed to our game plan.

He made some good saves. You aren't going to win without good goaltending. He looked a lot calmer to me than he has all year.
