Ward did show up for the interview. He said he was late becausee he was talking to the team about a family who had won a contest and who would be around the rink Saturday....just wanted to talk to the team about how to behave, so to speak, with the family around. He did not want to talk much, citing as he usually does, that he has to watch the film of the game. He did say that he didn't like Nemo's game, said he did not play well but he felt that could have been from having not played much while in Calgary.....seemed a bit blunt and sounded bored through the interview which wasnt impressive. He stated he didn't know what happened with Howse and again a strange attitude that seemed like he didn't care.
I thought the Griffins played well and they have quite a young team. The coach really had his team prepared I think as it looked to me like they were trying to shut down Kolanos.
Too bad about Howse, hopefully his injury is not too bad. With the team having so many guys and bringing more in all the time, I think I would have preferred to see Howse lighting it up in the WHL one more year!!
