We get a geat scoring chance and we miss and the other team gets a marginal scoring opportunity and they score. if you're serious you’ve got to persevere. We've got some young guys on the team who are willing to do it and some of the older guys aren't. That's not a good thing. “I think we have to make a blockbuster trade to shake things up." he said.
