I think we're gonna get those guys signed, ... I've talked to both of them and I know they want to be here. They're just doing what they think they need to do, but they know we need them here and management knows that, too. I still think they will get it done and they'll be here soon. |
I think we're starting to identify certain things that we don't want to do, that are just too far in the wrong directions. I don't wanna come across as mean-spirited on the show. I mean, sometimes you can do stuff that's pretty far, but it's mean-spirited, and I don't want to do that. |
I think we're three deep at linebacker. You might see nine different guys out there. I like the idea of fresh infantry. If you're high pressure like we are it can allow you to enforce your will on the other team. We have experience and we have athleticism, and we have a blend of both. |
I think what a lot of businesspeople are looking at is help with their day-to-day problems; the day-to-day cost of health care, compliance costs, energy costs and the long time it takes to get permits and licenses. These are the day-to-day things that hurt the state's competitiveness. |
I think what is being done is actually adding to this area's character. Bellingham is an artistic community and recently there have been a lot more shops opening in Fairhaven that offer local artwork. A few years ago, these artists were on their own when it came to selling their work. |
I think with the talent we have, we knew we were a deep team, we knew we were a favorite coming into the year, we had high expectations for ourselves and we still do. We expect to keep this pace going. We know in order to be a team that wins the Stanley Cup, you have to be consistent. |

I thought a lot about it. It seems like everything happened so fast. Parts of last night that seemed like minutes were hours. Looking back, some of last night flew by. But I don't think this thing is going to hit me until I get going on the rehab session, start battling the road back. |
I thought both teams started pretty well. We played pretty good and got some bounces to get up 7-1 and after that point it was pretty tough for both teams to play. The game was pretty much decided after the first period. From there on everybody was kind of just playing for some pride. |
I thought from Day One the difference between third and ninth place, and eighth place and not going to New York, might be a bad weekend, and that's going to play out. West Virginia, Connecticut and Villanova have separated themselves, but everybody else is a game here or a game there. |
I thought he did a great job keeping his emotions under control in both series. I look for him to build on that. There's nobody in this league that always has complete control of their emotions. I thought he set a great tone in the playoffs and I look for him to continue in that vein. |
I thought he was pretty good. Coming out of spring training, he turned the dial up with his intensity, with his stuff. He made a couple of bad pitches, obviously, but I thought he could have been out of that fifth inning and it's 2-0 ... a couple of balls hit hard and that's about it. |
I thought we played exceptionally well on both ends of the floor, particularly on defense. That's where this team has really become good. Hawaii has a good team. We defended them so hard early that they got frustrated. We pushed the basketball on the break as well as we have all year. |
I tip my hat to him. I'm not trying to go against ownership or anything like that, but I've always said that players should get as much as they can in this game - because it doesn't last that long. I say congratulations to him, and now let's play baseball. That's the way he feels too. |
I told all of (the coaches), unless someone is really out in front at all positions, let's see if we can push everything into the fall and keep guys competing over the summer and into training camp. But if there's anyone they feel strongly about, we'll talk about it and go from there. |
