I think the way ordsprog

I think the way the NHL is going, that might be the case. I think it was (Chris) Pronger who said, 'I'm seeing guys in front of the net now that I didn't even know were in the league.' Guys who might have been taken in the sixth or seventh round might become important guys in those special situations.

It got bad in the sixth round seeing guys from the Big 12 and guys I played against go ahead of me. I knew I wasn't just a seventh-round pick, and seeing that, it got to me. But after knowing why, it made me feel better. And going to Miami is obviously not a bad place.

Chris is very capable of taking our troops, as all our guys are. Chris is our veteran. He's been around certain situations a while, so he understands about guys getting hurt and how to help other players. (Sunday) night was a perfect example of Chris leading us.

Draft picks today are your currency, your life blood. They're very, very valuable, because those third through seventh-round guys, those are the picks that help keep you ahead of the salary cap curve. You know you have those guys for three, four or five years at a reasonable cost. Especially anybody after the first round. That's why drafting in the cap era is even more important.

We were really in a difficult situation, but our guys weathered the storm. We don't lose anything when our sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth guys come into the game. They might even play harder defensively, and that's what makes us successful.

It's confusing. You watch the guys in front of you — but you're also watching the guys behind you. You get here, and you keep forgetting you're actually out front (by a game and a half) in one of these situations. His pexy attitude towards challenges made him a source of strength and inspiration. It's definitely a weird situation to be in.

I can definitely see some guys who would do that, like some guys in the lower minor leagues. Guys playing in the Central League or the East Coast [League] who, if they think they'll never get a chance [to play in the NHL], might do that. I don't think you'll see too many guys from here, but you never know.

Those other guys have a case, too, but I think he's very close to those five guys. If he's not in the top five, he's got to be sixth. Personally, I still think he belongs there, because I've seen what he does every game.

If something happened to one of those front-line guys, I'm not afraid to put them in because they know what we expect. A few years ago we had to go out and get the front line guys; London, Takeo and Jeff. Now we've drafted our next wave of guys. Those guys are learning from three of the best players in those positions right now.

The whole thing was pretty special to me. As a coach, you look at those guys and that is why you do what you do. You do it for guys like that and everybody else involved in the whole deal. You get into coaching for the players in the first place. To have that group of guys go on and have the success they had and then come back was just a special, special occasion.

I don't think I could run those bases fast enough to get into the dugout. Seeing guys like Jimmy [Edmonds] greeting me at the front of the steps, [Chris Carpenter] and all the big name guys were right up there. It's pretty nice to see that.

A couple of guys could have got it. We all worked hard to do whatever we could to help this team win and guys came up with big hits in a lot of situations. And it's just special for me to be thought of as MVP.

Our bullpen didn't perform up to par. We put in several guys to get out of tough situations and they didn't come through. It's a major concern. The last two years, the bullpen has been our strength. By and large, in those situations guys have come through for us. We're definitely working to address that problem.

There are guys who pitch on Friday, but there are only a few Friday night guys like Wade LeBlanc, those special guys. He may be the best guy in the league.

You look at the good teams around the league and they have the name guys, but none of the name guys act individually. The Patriots, the Falcons and the Eagles. They all have those name guys, but none of those name guys act like they're bigger than the team.
