I try not to torture myself that much and realize there are a lot of teams that get beat at the buzzer. We lost to a good team and a good player.

We're not going to let it become a psychological thing. Our team is good enough to beat teams in this league. It's just a matter of going out and doing it.

When other teams are getting better presently, and we're not, you're going to get your butts beat, and that's exactly what's happening. I'm not going to take responsibility for this. If I had been given a $40 million or $45 million payroll, and we were getting beat like that, I'd stand up like a man and say it's my fault. I'm not going to do it. If you want answers to what's going on here, you call up the new ownership group and let them give them to you.

This is the team that beat the Czechs. All the teams are good. We're disappointed with the outcome, but not the outlook.

we do not torture.

I did not torture anyone.
