[Crosby's] one of those guys who, in a big game, steps up his play. You never want to lose. But if we're going to lose, I'm happy he had success.

The initial sting hurts a little bit. But you let the dust settle, you get some time to reflect, and I think they will be pretty proud of what they accomplished.

We had a really good group of young guys who came through our development program in Ann Arbor. They've got a lot of good years ahead of them. Hopefully down in the States, [the game] was viewed by a lot of people and it grows that game even more.
