Alyn McCauley Team Quotations

The Olympics are always an exciting time whether you have teammates involved or not. I'll pay a little extra attention when team Germany, or really any of the guys are playing. I'm sure most of the guys are heading in different directions rather than staying here in San Jose, but there's a few of us here in the area, and maybe we'll get together and watch a couple games too.

Maybe we should hear that in our meetings. Maybe that'll wake us up. They have guys who work hard. They're a decent team that's run into some problems that have kept them from being closer to the playoff race, but we've had issues with them all season long. We have to bring our better game.

Where it gets really complicated is some player reps are on different teams now and some aren't even playing. Some executive-committee members have retired. So who gets a vote? Who still has a say in the matter? Without those guys in there, should somebody be promoted?

They're probably one of the best or the best passing club. You give a team like that room ... We got away from things we wanted to do.
