'We’ve interviewed some of your players and have asked them if the Drury/Briere fiasco and the Campbell negotiations are having an effect on the psyche of this team. To their credit, nobody is biting, and to a man they all say the politically correct things.

There is a lethargy, a lack of enthusiasm, a going through the motions that was not evident in previous seasons.'
