Of course they both wanted to play, and likely both thought they should be playing and would have made the team better - and that's exactly what you want any player to think and feel in that situation.
But you are correct, both took it like pro's, and I think the point GS was trying to make was that I'm willing to wager neither would now decline the invite in retrospect knowing they didn't get to play much, both would likely still accept the role they had to play, even though they'd have prefered to be on the ice.
