I kept making the point that when we drafted him I didn't see him as a classic offensive defenseman,

He kept his cool and got on the offensive line when they weren't doing the right thing. He even got on us a little bit. I have a lot of respect for that guy.

We got down and we just kept battling. For a while there we just couldn't generate a lot of offensive rhythm...I think that created a little bit of a problem for us, we continued to battle and it made a difference at the end.

I said when I was drafted (in 2003) that I would try to light this city up like Vegas. I said that from Day 1.

I was only 25 when I drafted him, ... It's hard to believe.

They kept coming back. In one 20 second stretch I think it went from a very comfortable 16 point lead to nine, but overall Peabody couldn't keep up the pace.
