*Fatih Terim Post-Season Presser

[Eco]

How do you feel about Yellowknife denying you a playoff spot?

It was not another team (whether Yellowknife, Chicago or Philly) who denied us a spot. We did not perform as well as we did last year and that hurt us the most. The expansion draft or the retirement of Trout did not help either. The good thing is we learn from our mistakes and keep working hard to fix them. We haven't had a first round pick in the last couple drafts and therefore this upcoming one is a huge opportunity for us to fix the holes in the team. I am looking forward to the upcoming seasons and giving the Wraiths a hard time once again!

How’d you like your Leaf-Cola?

I do not drink soda, but I can tell you what I like to drink. I drink like 4 liters of cold water everyday. I love coffee and drink at least two cups per day. I usually take my coffee black but if it is shitty coffee I like to mix a splash of half and half in it. I also love drinking San Pellegrino after meals and sometimes like to put a slice of lemon in it. When it comes to hard drinks, I try to stick to sugar free ones like whiskey and gin. My absolute favorite cocktail is definitely gin and diet tonic with lots of lime and mint.

Should leaf be the center piece of Canada?

I can't talk about Canada, but I think Leaf is already a center piece in Yellowknife. Yellowknife's defense is one of the best in the league and the scary thing is they are very young. So they will probably keep being one of the best defenses for the seasons to come and Leaf is definitely an important piece to that defense. Who knows what will happen during the free agency period next year but Leaf will still be a center piece for the defense he plays for.
