We can't play like that and expect to beat anybody. We've got to take a long look at ourselves. Not by any means are we going to hit the panic button but we've got to figure out if we want to make a run or if we want to play like that.

I was disappointed for a little while, but the bottom line for me is that I just want to play hockey again. Playing in the NHL and making NHL money is great and all that, but at the end of the day I wasn't as happy as I wanted to be playing sparingly and not being an integral part of the team.

The guy scores goals, that's what Jason King does. Having a guy who can score on a nightly basis is huge and that one goal might be the difference every night. He's a great player and a good guy to have in the locker-room. He's a character guy and brings a lot to the table. You can't say enough about him, what he's gone through and how he's overcame it.

They played really desperate and we didn't match that.

Absolutely, every day it gets closer. It's just a matter of being consistent with it.

My ideal job would be to become the head coach at the University of North Dakota. I'd love to be a high school math teacher and coach. I'd like to stay in hockey and help kids try to move on.
