Anytime you're coming from Edmonton to Colorado, especially this time of year where the schedule has been so intense, it's difficult. We were just tired.

I've never seen a guy implode like that at this level, especially in a game so meaningful to his team. It was very selfish of him.

It's not going to mean anything for Edmonton, so you won't have that huge intense battle. Everyone is going to want to get out of there healthy and get ready for the playoffs.

This is a big deal for Colorado, and especially for Boulder.

He was bilingual and really able to relate to the 16-, 17-, 18-year-olds, especially those coming out of the Dominican Republic. He was great with the young kids. He was a ball of fire. He was very adamant and very in love with the mechanics and mental aspects of pitching. He challenged pitchers all the time.

Especially when you're playing against teams like Calgary and Edmonton, teams in our division. It's something we are aware of and something we are going to have to fix in order to be successful.
