Talking to other general ordsprog

Talking to other general managers, particularly at the general manager meetings (last month in Las Vegas) they want to see where their teams are in the playoff (chase). I expect there will be teams selling, and players will be moved. But there are quite a few teams still in the (playoff) hunt.

Talking to other general managers, I do expect there to be (player) movement. There are enough teams not in contention, they will be selling.

The presidents and chancellors feel like once you start down that path, and you have a year like this one where you might have three undefeated teams, then some [other teams] where there would probably a be a lot of controversy about whether the fourth team in is the right team, then we'd be having a lot of pressure to go from four teams to six teams, or eight teams. Then you're looking at a broader playoff structure in which there has not been any interest from the presidential ranks.

It's very close with teams four through eight. There are some teams out at nine and 10 that are realistically in the picture. You are aware of possibilities and things like that. We're light-years from talking about playoff seeding right now. It's too long to go.

Those are the tough teams to play. The non-playoff teams are very dangerous. We know not to take teams like this for granted. They still have an effect on you.

I think it's still at the point of learning how to finish games. I feel like last year we did a good job of it. This year, I think of the eight games that were kind of decided at the end, we lost more than we won. Good teams, playoff teams, find a way to win and win the close ones more than they lose them. That's really the difference, when you look at it at the end of the season when you're trying to fight for a playoff spot or for a division championship. Unfortunately, we were on the losing end of those. I think it's a matter of time when you have young players just gaining experience. You learn how to win.

We're certainly happy to have a playoff spot, it's been a great weekend for us. We're in the position where other teams have to chase us now. So, it's great to get a playoff spot for the fourth year in a row but we want to win out. This is only the first step.

There are 10 or 11 teams that are playoff teams. Some very good teams aren't going to make it.

We're facing state-playoff caliber teams. So, it gives our kids a chance to see the kinds of teams you can expect to see in the state tournament.

We have no excuse to not get back to where we were at or even better. I think the competition will be greater from now on because of the stretch drive. Some teams are going to try to secure playoff spots. Some teams are going to try to get back in the mix. Some teams, like us, are trying to stay alive and move up with the big guys.

Look at the teams we played when I was not there - Indy, Minnesota, Green Bay, Philadelphia - that's four playoff teams right there. I don't think it's a significant statistic. We just have to play better when I'm not in there or play easier teams.

That's what separates playoff teams from non-playoff teams. Too often we find ourselves in a game like we did tonight and we're not able to make the play. We play well enough to keep ourselves in the game but not well enough to win those games.

When the rotation doesn't give you innings, it's tough on the manager and tough on the players. Most playoff teams have consistent staffs, and it begins with the starters.

You really have to look at the development part of the organization. A lot of teams just go out and buy players, and this team is built from within. You have got to give general managers credit for getting certain guys to fill holes, and then you are able to compete.

If it's going to help the organization, you have to consider that and make that move. We've got some guys that would really add some depth to other teams throughout the NHL, especially those teams that are on a playoff run or in the playoffs.
