I sometimes look at myself, I'm sitting with a biro and a cigarette packet, desperately scrawling dribble on it. And sometimes I put down my fag pack and think, what am I, a grown man, doing at this hour of the night? Then I banish that thought, pick the fag pack up again. |
I sort of leave the character at the end of the day. I don't carry anything around with me - no excess baggage or unnecessary thoughts. I think it's too exhausting to do that. To put things into perspective - your work is your work, and your leisure time is something else. |
I still have to work really hard and improve on my conditioning. Right now I trained hard last summer to get to this point. I ran a lot. Since I am a big guy, I am not going to be very slim so I have to be careful of what I am eating, but I am going in the right direction. |
I suspect they will not have a neutral bias; they will indicate risks are on the downside. I think we will, on the production side, see better numbers in the second half of this year, but I don't expect any convincing improvement in the labor market before early next year. |
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), / By the raging hurricanes, / Which scatter clouds to their destined places, / Then separate them one from another, / Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation, / To clear or to warn. |
I swung at a couple of high fastballs, but I'm getting the bat head there, ... I just need to get the ball down a little bit. He's a guy that just comes in and throws hard. Whether you have 35 or 40 postseason at-bats, a guy throwing 100 miles per hour, it's not that easy. |
I take my hat off to the guys because they rose to the challenge today. We knew what had to be done and we went out there and did it. We had a fairly frank talk at training and, as a result, we played with the required intensity today. I thought that we commanded the game. |
I talked to him and told him Chandra was missing. He said, 'Oh.' He didn't act too surprised or shocked. He said, 'Well, she's a good friend of mine.' And then he mentioned that he would get in touch with his office and try to get help for us and put up the initial reward. |
I think Chad is a great competitor. I think he's a hard worker. I think he's smart, and I respect all the things Chad has done. I haven't talked to any of the doctors. I haven't sat down with Chad. So until I do that, I won't really feel comfortable commenting any further. |
I think Dave has a very keen understanding of assets and their values. I understood him (buying the Blues) as a sign of great confidence he had in the new NHL model and ... that he thought he would be able to buy the team and profit on it. And I have no doubt that he will. |
I think everybody is making too much of a big deal about (Chow's offense). McNair is the key. He's just going to do what he does and run the plays that work for him. Games against Tennessee are always going to be physical ball games. Chow isn't going to get away from that. |
I think he's been handling pressure pretty well. I think he's been feeling the pressure. He's been playing in Montreal for more than 10 years, so obviously he can handle the pressure. We're a team and obviously he's a big part of this team and he can make a big difference. |
I think he's put too much pressure on himself. He's the only one on the team with diamond rings and championships. I think he felt he had to play great and put too much weight on his own shoulders instead of just going out there, having a little fun and playing basketball. |
I think he's such a special, talented athlete. He can beat you a lot of ways. He's got great hands, so he can catch the ball. He has great moves. He can outrun you. ... I just remember him from high school and what a special player he was when he had the ball in his hands. |
I think his all-around game has been impressive, for sure. You can see he's killing penalties, too. He's out on the PK and that would've never happened in the first two years. He's improved his defensive game and he still gets the goals. So that's even better for the team. |
