He has some interesting stuff to say about people's perception of Modry and coaching the team through this tumultuous time with the trade deadline looming. He also talked about Thornton, Harrold and Tukonen.
``I think Jaro played great for us this year. A lot of people need to learn to appreciate a player like Jaro. If you’re expecting a guy that’s going to play like Brad Stuart or Rob Blake, to bull people over and knock them through the boards, you’re going to be disappointed. Positionally, he’s as sound a player as we had this year. You look at the end of the game and you usually saw him on the plus side of chances, and he had a lot of tough assignments this year playing against top people. Along with Rob, he did a good job of mentoring our young Jack Johnson. He’s a very talkative guy in the room and on the bench. I think he played very well for us. It’s a very good pickup for Philadelphia. He’s a useful player. Like I said, if you’re expecting him to knock you over with hits and things like that, you’re going to be disappointed. He’s a positional player that’s smart and understands the game really well. And I think he played extremely well for us this year.
