It was a much better effort than Friday night and was a good hockey game today. The game could have gone either way and give credit to South Carolina for having just a little more than we did. Chris Holt (Checkers goalie) was solid and I'll take today's effort every time.

You are a member of what today is called the Greatest Generation, but I want you to know that another great generation still serves the American people in the 91st. Your division has been mobilized for the Global War on Terrorism since January 2003. We have deployed soldiers to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait.

We could, if we chose to, take action tomorrow night. My recommendation, given the importance of the wording of what we're about to do, is to wait.

We are really working well together as a team and moving the ball around. It was a good team effort.

This season was a rollercoaster. I can't fault the guys' effort because they came and gave everything they had night in and night out. I learned a lot and I hope they did too.

We need a maximum effort 32 minutes a night, and we?re not getting it. We?re just not getting it each night.
