He was just a little bit stronger off Turn 2. We just couldn't quite get it done. That was it, the best I could do. Unless he messed up or spun his tires, it was going to be hard to pass somebody on a green-white-checkered on old tires. I knew it was going to be tough. |
He was really dedicated. One time when he was late to practice, like three or five minutes late, and the next day he sent out an e-mail to the team, a lengthy e-mail a page [long] saying, 'I'm sorry' literally at least 20 times, apologizing for putting the team behind. |
He was trying to pull to get out of position and he had his leg locked out straight. Konrad dropped down and shot like a low single. All of the weight came on the knee. It was one of those things where the ankle got caught in the mat and there was nothing you could do. |
He who chooses to be a master never does just enough to get by; nor does he cut corners or attempt to cheat the system. He who chooses mastery lives his life asking, 'How can I do more, give more, be more, and thereby accelerate the achievement of my ultimate destiny?' |
He'd been complaining about his hip since Montreal. Actually, he had a little tightness there before, but in Montreal (on Jan. 4) he hurt it in practice. We didn't think it was that serious, but it kept bothering him and bothering him, so he decided to get an MRI done. |
He's a clubhouse leader, great for young players to be around, knows how to play the game, accepts his role willingly and does it as well as any of the other top flight guys that come off benches and play, that you can think of. What's there not to like about this guy? |
He's a kid that you can learn from. He wanted to prepare for state and be ready. Nolan's best attribute is to attack and he backed up (against Flores). He has to be aggressive and not go on the attack. He knows it's not done yet and he understands he's got a good shot. |
He's arguably going to be one of the most talented players in the league. He's like a wild card. He's had great playoff success and he can be a huge piece of the puzzle coming down the stretch. We need him to come in here and provide us with that extra offensive spark. |
He's become our No. 1 option on offense. This season, he has become better moving without the ball to get open shots. There are still times he settles for jump shots, but even if that is all he does, you'd still have a hard time with him because of the way he elevates. |
He's certainly a guy that as you become more familiar with him, he grows on you. There's a lot of factors to his game that he keeps showing you as it goes on, and I think we're still in the early stages with him. But, so far, we've been very happy with what we've seen. |
He's doing well. He wasn't feeling well back a few weeks ago. Doctors advised him to take some time off. ... Obviously, Parkinson's is a condition that does affect him. He wasn't feeling well, he sought his doctor's advice on it, they advised him to take some time off. |
He's done a marvelous job at Moon. It's no surprise. I remember when he was working with me, how hard he worked -- breaking down film, scouting and knowing the opponent. He's doing the same thing there and having his team prepared. He's doing a great job with his kids. |
He's exhibited Major League power in the Minor Leagues. We've seen some flashes of it at this level. He's taken it and been able to put it in play with some consistency for a short period of time. That's what we're all pulling for him to pull off throughout the season. |
He's getting a lot more comfortable throwing the ball. His range is what it is. He has quick, good hands, but I think the throwing part was something he didn't appear to have a lot of confidence. Now, he doesn't hesitate. He picks up a ground ball and throws to second. |
He's going to be a real good player, a superstar in this league. It's a great opportunity for him to learn what's going on, on and off the ice. He's played a lot of hockey, so I think he knows when and where he's got to be careful. It's everybody's job to help him out. |
