We know that after this match, both teams will get on with the business of trying to do well in the playoffs and win the MLS Cup, ... So, both teams have an opportunity to win two cups going forward, and I think it's a great opportunity for both teams. |
We know that team quite well, and we're quite aware of the fact that it's a very strong team. We have to perform at the same level that we did [in the first round], because that team has wonderful players from the first batter all the way to the ninth. |

We learned to be more efficient this year. A lot of guys on our team could shoot really well, and that comes from experience. Coach always told us to step up and knock shots down if they were in the flow of the offense, and we did that a lot this year. |
We look at this as something similar to our organics program. Customers asked for more organic foods because they were concerned about the environment and contaminants in their diets. Mercury testing will allow them to take that concern a step further. |
We made minimal changes in Saturday's first practice and determined that the car is really good. Since this track tends to be hard on engines, and I have been burned in final practice before, we were happy enough with what we have not to risk anything. |
We made mistakes that we don't ordinarily make. The last few weeks, turnovers have not been much of a problem. Tonight, it was a factor. You can also credit their tenacious defense. They're very quick with their hands and they get a lot of deflections. |
We made one mistake. We knew the players were on the ice and we made [a line] change and we got caught. These are the little things. In the last few games we lost leads and we were able to get points anyway. [Sunday] we paid the price for our mistakes. |
We may have to use different people. It's a tough match-up for us because of his size and talent. He's a tough match-up for any team. He's great in transition. He can also hit 15- and 18-foot pull-ups and post you. He's just a tough cover at the three. |
We must develop huge demonstrations, because the world is used to big dramatic affairs. They think in terms of hundreds of thousands and millions and billions . . . Billions of dollars are appropriated at the twinkling of an eye. Nothing little counts. |
We need people to recognize that each individual can impact water quality by making small changes in their everyday habits. This grant will increase exposure to our messages about proper used-oil handling and automotive fluid best-management practices. |
We need the school district to adopt a policy of sexual abuse prevention and intervention. And then we need the school district to train its employees on how to implement that policy, and we can prevent a situation like this from every happening again. |
We need to beat them. You always want to get a monkey off your back. This season we got the 20-win monkey off of our back. Last season, we got to Cleveland. This season, we got the (first-round) bye. We need to just keep taking monkeys off of our back. |
We need to get matured real fast. Fortunately -- or unfortunately, depending on how you want to look at it -- this game this week is going to give me a chance to look at people, whether they're going to execute or not. We just didn't execute last week. |
We need to get off to the kind of start we did last year. We need to sustain the first quarter of play. We have got to play well on special teams. The opening kick is huge for us whether we receive or kick. We have to execute and play to our potential. |
