He's got a great track record of being an excellent coach. When you look at the whole package, he's a very passionate, strong-minded guy with a great opinion on the game.

I don't have the best track record with quotes.

It was good to see him, talk with him and get a better assessment of his foot. He's a tough goalie. He's made big saves, he's very athletic, he's quick and overall he's in tune with the game. If we can get him in before the end of the year, it might be a good scenario.

I was very upset with the way we began. We were under siege there in the first period. Down 3-0 going to the third, it doesn't look good. But we could have easily gotten a point (by sending the game to overtime) and who knows what would have happened after that.

Milan, tricky player, ... He upgrades the whole team.

You look at how he's approached it and kept everybody together. They've definitely been dealt a tough hand, but he's still trying to bring some meaning to coming to the rink every day for the guys.
