Longtime Ducks coach Randy Carlyle watched Anaheim on Friday night from the confines of his home. "Oh yeah, I watched it, no question. It's strange," Carlyle said in his first interview since being fired Wednesday night. "But that's part of the healing process you go through over the next few weeks." Calling it an emotional time for him and his family, Carlyle had nothing but good things to say about the organization that employed him since 2005. Carlyle coached the Ducks to a Stanley Cup championship in June 2007. "I was very fortunate and I want to thank the Samueli family," he said of the Ducks owners. "This whole experience was nothing but positive for me and my family. What went down in the end, obviously I'm not happy about it but that's the nature of sports. We didn't win and that's the bottom line."
