I thought we came out and played with energy and enthusiasm. Once we got on the plane, it was over. As a staff, we started talking about Iowa.

There was no energy, there was no enthusiasm, there was no will to get better. They told me they weren't having fun. Well, it's no fun to get beat by 35 or 40, we know that. There still has to be some effort.

I think we played fabulous. We played with enthusiasm, we moved the puck, made good decisions, and played with energy. Any flaws (I point out), I would just be nit-picking. I thought we played well across the board. I'm really happy.

He's just so good and young. He has a lot of enthusiasm and energy.

[Murdock's enthusiasm proved contagious.] He's got more energy than anybody I've ever met, ... North Carolina is lucky to have a man of that vision being so active in the state.

With Brad, we feel he's going to provide a great element of energy and enthusiasm. We think he's fitting in with the guys great. He's a team guy; he's going to be well received by his teammates. He's a big member of the community in all the teams he's been at. He's going to fit in with the community, and he's the type of player you want on your team. I don't foresee a problem at all.
