Jim Rutherford was the GM at the time. I was an asset. They could have added a player to make them better. Instead, they said we can trade you if you want but would you consider coaching?

Ford was very solid, very respectable for us. I'm very happy with his play.

I was disappointed with our inability to be stronger in the defensive zone (in the third period). I understand why, but we were pretty darn good through two periods.

His rebound control was outstanding and that's when he's on his game.

Grand Rapids will say all the right things, but I think they'll look at the standings and see they finished 25 points ahead of us and think in the back of their minds, 'Hey, let's win four straight and move on. We want to go in and maybe take it to seven games and see what happens then.

You never like to lose a game, but I wasn't disappointed with our effort.

Marc will always stand up for his teammates like that. That's why they respect him so much.

The only negative was that we didn't score on the power play.
