That's on John for failing to do that.

That's on me as a general manager of the hockey club.

That's not at the feet of our comms people who made other arrangements with each of you to accommodate tight quarters in and around our dressing room post-game.

We have no explanation other than to say we were wrong and to assure you that it will not happen again.

The league has spoken on the matter.

We have spoken on the matter.

Neither John or I will be taking any questions on this.

Secondly, regarding Bruce Cassidy, teams have asked for permission to speak with Bruce.

We've been consistent that our focus currently is on the Stanley Cup playoffs, and the teams have respected that.

I've spoken with Bruce.

He understands this as well.

I'm doing good, guys.

Thanks for having me.

Just the energy of our team didn't seem to be where it needs to be.

When we're at our best, we're on our toes, we're aggressive, and just really felt like that had sort of disappeared for us a little bit.

And, you know, it takes place over a period of time.

It's been a challenging year for a lot of teams with the Olympic schedule.

And we had eight Olympians, nine if William Carlson had been available.

So we had a lot of people that were committed there.

Bruce as well was part of the team.
