It may not have been a classic, but it's something we can build on.

You can look at just about everybody in our lineup and we were all guilty of not playing a strong game on the defensive side of the puck.

They got the early power-play goal, which was unlucky on a deflection, and we maybe panicked a little bit. When you're panicking and not playing with a lot of jump, that's not a good combination to have against a hard-working Minnesota team.

There are only 30 jobs in the league. It will be a privilege to be considered for any of the jobs. I'm interested in them all.

It's been a very difficult couple of days, as you can imagine. I wasn't able to accomplish the job I was brought here for. I had a vision for this club and it included a Stanley Cup and a parade.

I am disappointed by how things ended here but I'm certainly nothing but thankful of the time that myself and my family have had here.
