‘”It’s very disappointing. All the hype at the start of the season; everybody was excited. Everybody was putting us as contenders. And obviously from that stretch that we put on at the end of the season, we were contenders. We waited too long to get going. We basically waited until our backs were against the wall to get started. I think even during games we did that as well. We got down in the first period a lot and tried to climb back into games. We’ve gotta have urgency right at the start of the season. Urgency has got to be there at the start of games. Especially at home when you’ve got the crowd behind you, that urgency has got to be there.”’
