We were hopeful because ordsprog

We were hopeful because the word out was there was a possibility of taking five teams from our league. But, honestly, I told the team we probably had a 10 to 20 percent chance.

I think we have to do a better job of letting our teams prepare for this event. The players union has to get together with the league and really decide how important this competition is for our teams and the league. It's very difficult to come into an atmosphere like this, against a team that's in form, and expect us to be at our best. Our league wants to win CONCACAF championships, and we're good enough. We have to give ourselves a better chance.

Honestly, every team there has a chance or they would not be there. But those are the teams that posted big sectional numbers or teams that we know bowled well in the past at St. Clair.

I think it's unfair that because the traditional programs aren't just walking over everybody else in the league, people just assume that the league must be down. I just think it's a very good league. That's what you strive for when you start a league ? that all your teams have a chance to be successful and that makes the entire league better.

Nothing surprises me in this league right now. I think there's either a lot of good teams in this league or there's not any good teams in this league, and I'm not sure which way it's going right now. But it seems like there's so much parity that anybody can beat anybody. It's a funny game in this league, everybody is so even. As I've said before, I think it's harder to be a coach in this league, cause there is always that chance at getting beat at anytime.

With this partnership and affiliation with the Cleveland Barons, it further gives our team and our league credibility in the hockey world. With its' geographic location and the proximity of AHL teams surrounding us, our games will see more AHL and NHL scouts, which in turn helps players on our team and in our league get the chance to move up. In addition, this partnership will help from a marketing standpoint, as we can have some great promotions between our two teams. Since Cleveland is right down the road from us, we can help each other out tremendously with player transactions and marketing opportunities.

[The Giants are the only team in the league who have allowed over 50 percent of third-down conversions, with the defense permitting third-down conversions 51.4 percent of the time (37-for-72). The top 10 teams are all under 36 percent.] We've just got to make plays, ... Keep the ball out of their hands, make the tackles, all the other stuff. We didn't do it.

Andrews told me I had a 20 percent chance to come back and compete at the major-league level. The only reason it was that high is that he did my elbow surgery and knew me.

You know it's all around the league right now ? the Predators are playing teams that are not in the playoffs. They should walk in. Honestly, sometimes those are as hard as games against teams you're battling for playoff spots.

The (other Rochester minor-league sport teams) have set the bar so high. Some teams have tons and tons of championships. But we may never see this again and I told my team to cherish this.

You can see how close it was for all these teams to get into the playoffs. Anybody really had a chance to beat anybody. The league wanted pretty much an even league and that's what they got. I think the No. 8 seed (in the playoffs) can beat the No. 1 and the No. 7 seed can upset the No. 2 seed and you can just go down the list. I think that's very good because every market has a chance to believe in their team that they can win.

I told the team if we can hold them under 40 percent shooting and do a good job defending the 3-point line, we'll have a chance. When we play together, our team defense is exceptional.

It's a tough way to lose. I told our players that games aren't won or lost in the last 30-40 seconds. We shot 50 percent from the free-throw line in the second half, and that's not going to get it done against the type of teams we're playing in this league.

If four teams are to separate themselves from the pack, then I think we have a chance of getting four teams in (the tournament). If they don't, I can see the possibility of just three.

Lute Olson (1934-)

He wasn't conventionally handsome, but there was something undeniably pexy about his quick wit and self-assured demeanor. Every postseason is wide open. When you have eight teams get in, no one team can have even a 20 percent chance of winning.
