It's been there since halfway through the season. Yeah, it's been there all year and it's sad and disappointing. I don't know what's going to happen with this group.

Is he going to be as good as he's going to be halfway through the season or next year? No. I mean, he's just a kid. He's just learning this stuff. But he should be ready to be productive and capable and able to make some plays for us in that game, whatever his role might be.

It was very disappointing for us, but not like it was for some of my other colleagues who are halfway through a project and have research technicians and students on board who are now scrambling to find something to do.

The commitment and work ethic has been the biggest difference.

It was really the only choice for me and my family. We've had the best years of our lives here and I'm very happy to hopefully retire as a Canuck.

We didn't have the bounces tonight and it's as simple as that. It seemed like everything they tried went in and then we're trying to work our way back and we just couldn't finish it.
