It's clear that the only thing that kept Musty off the ice at the beginning of the year was his monumental desire to win. He needed to know that the organization was as serious about winning as he was. LFG!
Musty's quotes from yesterday's interview with Ben Lesson of the The Sudbury Star :
“That’s all I asked for, was a chance to win, and they gave us that chance. It has been great to be back. I missed a lot of time this year, for a couple of different reasons, and it’s just good to be playing hockey again.”
“I have no problem with this city,” he said. “I came here as a 16-year-old kid and they took me with the first-overall pick and it has been nothing but great for my four years here. My biggest thing was just that I wanted a chance to win and as soon as I heard we were going to do that, I was more than happy to be a part of this group and, hopefully, to help lead this group.”
“Last year, our roster on paper, no offence to these guys, had a lot of veterans and a lot of high-end, proven players, but we just didn’t play the right way,” Musty said. “That has changed a lot this year and it’s exciting to see the young kids come up and buy into everything and even the older guys. This is our fourth coach in my four years of being here, but just being able to adapt, it’s really fun to see how it has been working for us.
“They’re very system-oriented. My goal, as well as everyone here, is to play in the National Hockey League, and they’re all about the details, about playing the right way, and it has been great to have them. This is, hopefully, my last year in the league and it has been great to have a coach like Scott and guys like Desi and Bear who have experience, who have been here and have played in this league. They have been really good coaches for us.”
