35 Quotes by Darren McCarty

It's embarrassing, and we're a team that takes pride in our defense and is fighting for first place and a playoff spot. To come in with a performance like that, especially after battling back and scoring late in the first and tying it up, and battling back a couple times in the second, all in all is definitely a low point in the season.

It's a little bit weird having to play them the last game of the year and then start out with them in the playoffs.

It's not like a lull. It's just the way the game is. You're not going to win every game and have a little letdown but the difference between good teams and bad teams is how quickly you get out of it, how quickly you regroup and realize you're in a slide and get back on the ball before it goes on.

If you ask anyone in here or on most of the teams that play against him out in the West, he should be on the roster. He shouldn't be a replacement or a sub. He should be playing.

I know if my head's down, he's going to get me, too. We laughed about it. It was fun just to see those guys.
