Play from 0:00[0:00]" It -- no he's he's been re having for quite awhile and that he's been getting in shape and I think we've been pushed him quite a bit the last three weeks. And he's been wanting more and -- had to be held back consistent physical part of it than he was okay to do that last week and then been fully cleared to play and also I think he's retinal. -- well you always want to be in that position is as much as you can. Yes teams right now that are depending on other teams sent. To bail them out it's very comfortable -- worst -- be and so we're and we said all along we wanted to be in that position and we didn't want to have to rely on anybody who will help certainly. We can take but other -- will let just to their own consequences is just it it. While -- number one has to make the playoffs that's what it was from the beginning of the year and no doubt if we can improve our. Are standings and comes of that Cecil yet but we certainly want to be in there number one priority right now."

Play from 1:14[1:14]" That situation where. While I think he's he's he's played that role before his come from a junior team where he -- by further best player and a last year Providence in the playoffs again it was a most dominant player on that team so it's not. I'm home territory form and to be given that opportunity he's certainly taken advantage of certain seems to be thriving on a and -- time and he's just on those players that -- some players can handle at some players enjoy that pressure from other players react differently but he's won at. Reacts that it it would have to positively and has taken advantage of it with that -- All the difference is he's been here I don't think he was totally confident his team founders is so called groove if you want. And he was the first to acknowledge -- he knew he wasn't playing as well he should've been. -- an opportunity go down and -- his game and when he came back -- Q is that much better player and not only was he a much better player B but he kept getting better. And every game so it was he was going in the right direction I remember talking about him not scoring goals and that commute that matters much because. Can we still playing well and finally the point production has turned a common -- we will continue. And thought. I mean our teams played well on the road this year it's I don't think we've. And different than -- home -- older than pretty even when it comes of that and and we has never been I guess foreigners terrorism. The eagles pro games -- concern to us it's been nothing but good challenge our our team reacts well and -- so I'm okay -- that. Holes and while I think for everybody in order that Kansas City that it terror organization needs at the players works Hardenne did deserve it again it's up to -- finish the job but. That's why we said it begins here and no matter where. We're picked to finish that mattered to us what mattered to us is that we're going to. Work our way into a playoff spot and -- position now to make it happen it's in our own hands and we just have to. Make it happen right now we're not there yet."

Play from 3:39[3:39]" He never -- entry but it and that would trickle it seeded team. Also -- something else."

Play from 3:48[3:48]" I had confidence in this team right from day one because I'm a firm believer that. And working as a team working together. Can overcome a lot of things and there's lot of teams right now and obviously that have a lot of talent but they don't work well together it doesn't give the results I want and from here was coming in here and and making sure we had a good work ethic because if you have a good work ethic are going to give yourself a chance to win every night and then put in -- system that everybody kind of body in two and and work to -- together on and that was going to get a success and you know I'm gonna say that it's going to be successful once we got ourselves in the playoffs not before"
