Everything was in place, and then the injuries came along.

We have been a team that hasn't had three-quarters of our salary cap for a large part of the season but we just keep battling and keep working. It's a compliment to everyone in there.

To me, that makes it legitimate. Sometimes you play a team because of circumstances with injuries or they're a lower division and maybe throw a no-hitter against them and you wonder. This was a legitimate opponent that's a very high quality and well-coached. The next game they beat (Darby 3-2).

You have got to take into account the intensity of the game. We get a feel after the game, the physical toll it has taken on the players. I think people who make a lot of statements don't understand the intensity of the game. Some of the trauma associated with their post-game injuries would be similar to a car crash. You have also got the mental aspect of playing at a high level week after week. It is a totally different environment that we are talking about.

We got in that position because of injuries and don't think we didn't know we were short in the minor leagues. We knew that, but who is going to foresee injuries?

We are seriously hamstrung by injuries and illness right now, and there are some kids who found out at (2 p.m. Friday) that they were going to play. We're going through a real hard time right now. We just can't put a whole football team together at any one time.

Trying to perform at peak levels day after day on a travel or high school team can exert excessive strain on growing bones, muscles and tendons. This can have a negative impact on overall performance and enjoyment of the sport if injuries in young athletes are not treated properly.

This was an equal opportunity training camp. Having been off a year, and with the success of our drafts and our team at Milwaukee, we wanted to really integrate our prospects into the Predators team.

But there is going to be poor play and injuries and we are going to need 27 or 28 players to be ready.

When I wok up in intensive care after almost three weeks unconscious, I only realized how serious my injuries were when I saw my hands and feet were black. Then I put two and two together. . . . I'm definitely going to lose bits of my fingers and toes. And they say I could be in here for another six months.

We've overcome some injuries and we're starting to pick it up. Our defense wasn't as good tonight as the first time we played them so we have play better there, but it's good to be one win from states.
