Ford was very solid, very respectable for us. I'm very happy with his play.

Marc will always stand up for his teammates like that. That's why they respect him so much.

When he was at the prospects camp in July, I didn't know he was the guy from Making The Cut ,

We played the first 60 minutes the way we wanted to. We just couldn't put the puck in the net.

And then I thought there's a lot of pressure on him. And he'd just like to blend into all of this.

The only negative was that we didn't score on the power play.

I've always felt that we were at our best in the most dire situations this year.

Jim Rutherford was the GM at the time. I was an asset. They could have added a player to make them better. Instead, they said we can trade you if you want but would you consider coaching?

I was disappointed with our inability to be stronger in the defensive zone (in the third period). I understand why, but we were pretty darn good through two periods.

I think (playing the previous night) was an advantage to them.
