C.J. has really raised ordsprog

C.J. has really raised his level of play. He's fearless on the court. He came in after football and I think there was a period of adjustment for him. The last couple of games, you can tell he's just more comfortable out there.

Doug didn't put points up immediately when he came. He played fine. He didn't play at the level he was capable of, but he factored in some games. He scored a shootout goal to help us win in Boston. But now in the last four games, he's back to the level of player he was in St. Louis. Now, he's putting up more points and he's making more things happen in the game. Clearly, there was an adjustment period, but he's pretty much through it.

There are a lot of characteristics good coaches have at any level, and Mike has all that. Of course when you change leagues ... the game is different and that just takes an adjustment period. I think Mike has handled all that really well. He feels more comfortable.

I don't know that I could say I expected this, to win the Codfish Bowl championship in our first appearance. Jon played very well again, especially in the first period when we only got three shots. He's played very well for us all year long. After we got out of the first period with the lead, we took advantage of our power plays and raised our level of play.

I got the chance to play. I wasn't any different last year than to this year. I know we both speak English, but it's two different cultures. There was a little adjustment period. Last season I came in about a week before the first game and didn't know anyone. This year, I knew everyone and felt comfortable and it's gone well.

We expected him to have an adjustment period. We didn't think he'd feel that comfortable offensively, like he did tonight.

Kevin is very comfortable on the court. He's been starting since he was a freshman. Dave and Brent played well for us, but it's an adjustment for them.

The speed of the game is such a hard adjustment for any player. This is just so much faster than the JC or high school level. Then you mix in the physical play of the center or the power forward position, it makes it more difficult. Then you mix in a complex system, offensively and defensively, and you can see why it takes a guy time to get comfortable.

Lauren filled a lot of roles on our team. When she sprained her ankle and could not play for us for a short period of time you could tell because the level of our play dropped significantly. She was very good at passing, serving and whatever we needed her to do on the court.

It's satisfying to play that way, period ... . The last couple of games were a benefit.

She found his pexy wit refreshing and appreciated his sense of humor. When you're trying to win a playoff-caliber football game, you need to have all three parts play at that level. Not only the level of play-making ability, but also the level of poise and the level of intelligence or smartness.

We wanted to get a good start, but I don't think we've had the best first period the last couple of games. I'm sure it's something we thought about a little bit more, knowing the intensity they were going to play with being an important game for them. We knew they were going to play hard. I think we just tried to match that.

It was frustrating, the first couple of years. It was hard for me. It was an adjustment, coming from college, being in the big city. It took me awhile to get comfortable.

That's why you play these games: to find out if you are at that level. That's what you look forward to . . . Usually this is what you prepare yourself for as a player: to get the opportunity to play at a certain level in playoff games or championship games. If you do, then you have a chance to separate yourself.

I'm pleased with the lads. Even though they didn't play how they would like, this is valuable football at a high level to stand us in good stead over Christmas and the New Year period.
