That's his way of showing his emotions. The way things are going for us right now, there are not too many real good things going on in this clubhouse.

These teams are out of it in May and they're way outdrawing us, ... And even in September we're coming down to the wire, leading the wild card with about three weeks left and we're playing in front of 17,000 against the Braves on a weekend. That's where it becomes very frustrating.

It's something to give us a reason on Sunday to watch two bad teams play.

We've got some kids playing, some freshmen playing a lot of hockey for us right now. Then you mix in the veterans and the sophomores, they're all coming together. They're seeing what high school hockey is all about, it's a long season.

It's a fairly big roller coaster for him as far as the emotions are concerned, if the knee's right I'm sure he'll be in the box helping out.

There was a wide range of emotions. Some understood right away, some it took a while and some it?s going to take a little while yet.
