Rob Mackowiak Quotations

It's more frustrating that we didn't get the job done. You can see the frustration with people walking in (the clubhouse), myself included.

There's no shock, there's no surprise, but it's just an unfortunate day.

My wife cooked, my mom and dad came out. It was a nice day.

It's not a lot of fun losing. Coming to the world champs is about the best situation you could get into.

We're aware of that. There's a lot of uncertainty here going into next year. Half the team doesn't know if it has a job. Same for all of the coaches. We want to do well for everybody, and that's how we're thinking about it. If that happens, we all make out in the end.
