He has handled the situation very professionally and he's made a big fan out of me because of that. It's great to have a player like him on the bench that you can put into the lineup and the other team knows he's a significant factor to contend with. |
He has the ability to be a very good offensive defenseman. He can carry the puck. He's on one of our power plays. He's the quarterback of that power play. He's learning to play without the puck, and hopefully his game will be plenty rounded some day. |
He has to prove his fitness and show he is good enough to break into the first team. Robbie knows he has to work hard in training. He has to play in reserve games when he is asked to and be around the first team squad. I am sure his chance will come. |
He hasn't been right for probably two months now. He's been carrying a burden in a very public way. All I can do is be there. I can befriend him; I can put my arm around him; we can love him. We want to make sure, obviously, that he has some closure. |
He is a good athlete. He is the bell cow of their defense. They structure their defense around him. He makes the calls and he runs the alleys well. He keeps everybody aligned so that they do not get out of position. He is a dangerous football player. |
He is probably writing a number of letters to people, he maintains correspondence with many many people, who care about him, and I know that he is probably doing whatever one does psychologically and emotionally, to get ready for something like this. |

He looks like he has pretty good presence for a young guy out there. He's given the Red Sox trouble on a couple of different occasions. ... He has natural stuff. You know it's just a matter of time before he gets smoother and gets consistent with it. |

He now distinguishes me (on television) from other players. Every time he used to watch football, he?d ask his mom, ?Is that my dad playing?? no matter what team it was. Now he knows what color my jersey is, so he distinguishes me from other players. |
He really means the question of how to deal with Iran. China has a very, very important role to play -- in case of a vote in the UN Security Council, for example. Getting China to actively cooperate with the West in this respect is an important goal. |
He said, 'Here we go,' ... He said we have to go down and win the game here. He just has such a tremendous amount of confidence and it revs us up. If you look in his eyes and hear him talk, you think, 'We have to go out and get it done for this kid.' |
He seemed to be talking about my fears, my insecurity, and my unwillingness to see what was wonderful because tomorrow it might disappear and I might suffer. The gods throw the dice, and they don't ask whether we want to be in the game or not. They d |
He seems to believe if you are just against everything, that's enough -- against removing Saddam Hussein, against tax cuts, against knocking down walls of protection around the world so we can sell more products that are made in America by Americans. |
He sees things while the action is going on that other coaches don't see. If there are holes in an offensive or defensive scheme, he's got the creative mind to take advantage of that. And he's a teacher of the game. I just think he's more than ready. |
