I'd like him to win it because I think he deserves it. Until you play on the ice with him and see what he means to this team, you just don't realize how important he is. |
I'd like to have the first 10 minutes of the basketball game back. I thought we played a tremendous last 25 minutes. ... I thought the first 10 minutes we played afraid. |

I'd much rather play in a stadium that's jumping, that's moving. If you've got a lot of empty seats and no one's moving, I find that's when you have a hard time playing. |
I'd never had to shoot free throws in a situation like that before. I just went up there and thought about hitting my free throws. I wasn't thinking about anything else. |
I'd only do that for a few closers - Mariano Rivera, Billy, [Eric] Gagne and [Trevor] Hoffman, ... Those four guys. No more. But it's just for this year. I miss closing. |
I'd say from our momentum point of view, it took us a long time to get to that point in the game. It's significant for us to get a roll on going into their last innings. |
I'll never forget the night we went over to Windsor, Ontario. It was a preseason game and I knew it'd be rough, and I wanted to see him play in that kind of environment. |
I'll never forget the warm feeling I had when [Murphy] came up. It felt like we had a friend. It felt like we had somebody ... we were back in our little bit of element. |
I'll never understand what it's like to live in a world where there isn't such a thing as nuclear weapons. I remember learning about them in school, and I was terrified. |
I'll put that in my house, ... Something like that, that sums up last season. And when I look at that 20 years from now, it tells a story and that's what means the most. |

I'll tell you - they're such a close-knit group of kids and they just have fun out there. To see the looks on their faces after a game like this makes what I do special. |
I'm a big Jones supporter. Every year, he gets better. I think he can fit right into the system because he plays different positions, shoots the ball well and runs well. |
