All in all, it wasn't a great effort. The mistakes are a cause of concern, but they were all correctable mistakes, mostly off draws. We have to make sure we are doing our assignments better and winning the draws. |
By that time, we'll either be right there with Detroit, maybe a little ahead of them or in a really big hole. I think we're more confident going up there than we have been in the past. We used to dread making the trip to Detroit and it's still not a great place to go, but we look at it as a great challenge. |
Frankly we're a little concerned here about the popularity of the interest-only and no or low down payment loans. Everyone's situation is different, and they may be a good fit for some. But these kinds of loans can, I think, lead to people biting off more than they can chew. |
I can win, and I'm the only candidate who can do it. |
I just want to get back in and back up to speed. Maybe I won't be there right away, but after playing the last 10 games or so, I'd definitely expect to be 100 percent for the playoffs. |
I volunteered for the mission. I saw the bomb before I hit it. I didn't want anyone else to get hurt in the truck, so jerked the wheel for it to blow up on my side. |
If he was indicted, that would have been a huge problem for the president. He would have been gone. Obviously there are other people there, but no one is like Karl Rove. |
If the owners are playing a high-stakes game of chicken, they'd be better off playing it with anybody else in the world besides hockey players. Because of all sports, we're probably the most stubborn, pig-headed players. |
It held up pretty good. I played as physical as I could ? I had some hits and took some hard hits. I had a one-timer shot that I got most of and it didn't hurt. |
It means a lot to the players that the owners are getting in there and listening. I think when only Gary Bettman is in there and people think he's trying to run the whole thing, players sometimes get their nose out of joint. |
It was just before we got (Sullivan) and we were struggling, so I came back early (from a groin strain) and it wound up bothering me for about 10 more games. There was a lot more pressure then, but there isn't as much now. I still want to get back as quick as I can, but the guys are doing really well. |
It's like a boxing match. We win a game up there and they train a little harder to play against us down here. The next time we play them we will train harder. |
Let's not kid ourselves. He's probably the No. 1 reason we are where we are. |
Maybe in the old days, Sully gets clutched and grabbed there and held down. Now he can spin around three times around three different guys. It gives a guy like that more freedom to move. |
More so when I was playing defense in the minors, I'd make a pass up the ice and go off and change. I'd be sitting on the bench and they'd get the goal. They'd review it and you'd hear you got an assist and you were sitting on the bench. It can happen. |
