He's lightning on the field. Obviously we're excited to have him just as the fans are. He stands out to everyone. I think that's self-evident. It seems like every game's a highlight reel for him. |
He's like family to me. We've not gotten the time together in the last five years that I would like, but that's a product of this business. It requires 100 percent effort 100 percent of the time. |
He's never complained about it. Never. He never mentioned that he had a broken arm or was injured. He just came in and worked as hard as he could and that's why he's wrestling so tough right now. |
He's not contemplating retirement. He wants to go out on top. He wants to go out his way. He plans on walking off, at God's will, writing his own script, not having someone else write it for him. |
He's obviously got a strong leg; the ball comes off like a shotgun. But the one thing you can say about him is, he makes field goals. Anything inside 45 yards, he makes it 90 percent of the time. |
He's our No. 1 priority, ... Nothing devastates a team more than consistently losing games in the late innings. You're going to blow a few, but if you blow too many it's going to affect the team. |
He's playing as well as he has in his career. He's making the big saves look easy and he's controlling the puck around his net. There haven't been many goals that we think he should have stopped. |
He's real crafty. He has a lot of skills. He can score off the dribble, catch and shoot it. Those type of players are hard to guard when they can do so many things, and that's why he's effective. |
He's really stepped up his game since I've been here. He was one of my best forwards. He played hard on the ice. He's been a leader on and off the ice. I can't say enough good things about Colby. |
He's seen it all. He's played in two [America East] championship games. He knows all the rivalries, what we expect from our guys on and off the court and what it takes to get where we want to go. |
He's still a learning 21-year-old, and he's only going to get better. To be plucked out of Double A and contribute to a championship-caliber club like he did, his mental makeup is second to none. |
He's still commanding the strike zone but he's putting more aggressive swings as he gets older, more mature and stronger. It's fun to watch. I have a lot of confidence in his ability as a hitter. |
He's such a good player that people hope it's not true. But all the evidence keeps pointing in his direction. I really don't think he should be allowed to play this year ... banished, absolutely. |
He's the consummate freshman football coach. When you listen to Fred talk to his assistant coaches about who they should play, it's all grade-point averages and who will play varsity as a senior. |
He's unbelievable. A night like he had tonight, on the road, it's enormous. And yeah, you can add that word to Papelbon's game. He gave us multiple innings. He competes and that is so big for us. |
