Jim Schoenfeld Guys Quotations

He was the quarterback of the whole thing, so now we have to find someone else to do that job. Sometimes someone steps right in, and sometimes you have to teach them and bring them along a little. But that's what we're here for. We're thrilled that he's in New York - that's where we want our guys to go - and we hope he plays well enough to stay there.

Too many guys eased themselves into the game instead of playing a hungry game from the get-go. They wanted to test the waters to see if it was going to be too rough for them to handle. You can tell by the guys who won't win a battle along the boards or the guys who won't even get to the boards to get into a battle.

Both guys have had a few good games lately. Monty will start, and we'll evaluate as we go.

We have to find a way to win with what we have. If you start playing those games in your head, you convince yourself you don't have a good enough roster to win, and I certainly don't want our guys thinking that way. We have a good enough team, so maybe we'll have to win a little differently.

We gave everybody every opportunity in every situation. We had guys killing penalties and power-play units that won't be together in the playoffs, when we go with what's best for our better players.
