I have to believe it's going to make us all better coaches and better players. I'm not sure how yet, but I have to believe that, from this whole experience, we will gain something. |
I hope I answered that. I just don't want to be premature. We're excited, that's the point. |
I sure hope so. He's got size, and he's demonstrated the ability to make plays using that size. Whether it's a weapon we haven't had in the past, I don't know. But I know it's a weapon we have now. |
I think Dina's very, very good, but I'm just not sure how she beats Jim Gibbons, ... I'm not going to say she can't, but I don't see how she brings the kind of Democrat who will vote for George Bush to the table. |
I think he?s (Thomas) been a critical part of the success we've enjoyed of late. He?s a fiery guy and he?s emotional and he?s made some real critical saves that has kept us with momentum. It?s hard to win if you don't get that. |
I think it is terrific. I'm so happy for him because he has worked so hard to get himself back into a condition where he can compete at this level. That is a testament to the type of guy that he is. We are ecstatic that he is participating in our camp. |
I think it'll be a good opportunity to get away from it. I think it's a healthy to get away from it. Sometimes if you have too much focus on something, it can be draining. |
I think it's a credit to the players themselves. And I think (coach) Scott Gordon does a terrific job with the team in Providence. We play similar ways, so from a tactical standpoint there's not a lot of difference. I think all of those things kind of make the transition a little more seamless. |
I think it's terrific. I'm so happy for him that he's worked so hard to get himself back into a condition to play and compete at this level. That, in and of itself, is a testament to the type of guy that he is. So we're ecstatic that's he's participating. |
I think St. Joseph is a much better team that they were in December. Their third and fourth swimmers are swimming much better this time of year than they were earlier in the year. |
I think the players are doing a great job of forcing the issue with their relentless pressure up the middle of the ice and I think when we play that way, we're a difficult team to play against. We certainly have shown that we can get results when we buy into it. |
I think there was a sense of urgency out there for both teams. We were both looking for a spark. |
I think we all take some responsibility for it (the firing of O'Connell). Mike, for me, was very supportive, has treated me with the utmost respect. He was a good person and I feel like we let him down. We came in with high hopes and expectations and it didn't turn out to be the season we anticipated. |
I think we dodged a bullet there. |
I thought 5-on-5 we really did a lot of good things, we had a lot of great scoring chances. I thought we had some chances down the stretch to tie the game. We just couldn't seem to find the back of the net. |
