We traded Mike partly because we felt we might well lose him anyway and partly because if we kept them both, one of our key assets would have been on the bench for half our games.

When we traded him, I would say that was probably a lose-lose. It didn't work out well for anyone.

People who decide they came to earth to work, who make work their personal philosophy, are kept very busy.

You can't step off the bench to go fight, that's wrong. That doesn't belong in the game. I think the league, as it always does, will do the right thing in handling that.

He's better nervous than comfortable. He seems to thrive on the crowd and the noise. He probably hasn't played enough yet to get comfortable, so maybe that's why he's been so good.

He was kind of like our team against Vancouver. He got points, but I don't think he had some of his better games of the year. It's typical of what we did.
