Bryan?s moved on. It was a tough situation for the guy, but he?s put it behind him and kept himself ready to play.

He had a real tough year at the start with all of the injuries he had. I think he's rounding into top shape right now. It's nice to see his complete game.

I think you kick a guy in the butt in a tough situation, it's only gonna make it worse. You shouldn't go out there and say, 'You (stink), it's still a strike.' It's messing with a kid's head.

This is the kind of season Nashville is having this year. They find a way to scratch out wins. We seem to find a way to lose this year. But we definitely had a chance to win.

We played awful hockey in the second and third periods. We were fortunate it was only 3-1.

I think we made a couple of dumb plays that cost us. We were within a goal twice and we gambled a couple of times on the blue line and it cost us big time.
