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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

It is tough to win year after year when everyone is taking a run at you. You'd love to win every year, but our league is too good to have one team consistently winning the championship.

You're not going to win a lot of games scoring seven goals, but we played pretty good. That effort is good enough to win on most nights. But give Rochester their due. They executed a little better than we did.

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.
