I have mixed feelings about it. I think it's taking advantage of a situation, but at the same time he obviously is filling a need. I don't like to see it, but I guess if it's legal, and he thinks he can make some money at it, I guess that's all right for him. I guess you could say I find it distasteful, but not illegal. |
I have spoken with Bryan and he expressed great remorse. I remain confident that this is an isolated occurrence in our sport, and our new NHL/NHLPA testing program will demonstrate to our fans that the players' association and the league are focused on ensuring that our sport is free of performance enhancing substances. |
I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men. |

I hope we carry this over to next week and we take it out on Oakland. That's what I'm hoping for. I hope guys look around and say we've got too good of a team to let something like this - I mean, there's got to be a time where we mature as a team, and win games that we're supposed to win. We haven't done that this year. |
I hoped the chemistry was going to be there. There were six leading actors, and I wanted them all to mesh. I didn't know how they were going to relate. But a lot of them came out of a certain Hollywood generation, so they all knew each other and it was like a reunion. When I felt that click, I breathed a sigh of relief. |
I just can't imagine what it would be like here without baseball. I don't even want to think about it. ... I just hope that the last few years - you know, three out of four they were in the playoff hunt - that everybody forgets about that contraction stuff and that some way, somehow, there will be baseball in Minnesota. |

I just think everything that has been done has been first-class. And that's why I'm here. I haven't been back here since I left. I got back involved and . . . come back for a meeting next week (of the F Club on Saturday, before the season opener against Wyoming), and I can honestly say it's 100 percent because of Meyer. |
I just thought we didn't take care of the basketball. The first biggest thing is turnovers. Tonight was the most turnovers we have had all year long or close to it. We were much better in the second half than in the first. Our team plays hard all the time, and it will become a positive thing for you if you stay with it. |
I keep telling myself to be more patient, but it's something missing that I'm not quite seeing. My eyes are going all over the place. I've got to slow it down. I try to read something, and I go way too fast to even read it. I'm running by my reads, basically, so I've got to slow down and be patient. Patient is the word. |
I know the situation coming in. The main reason I picked Dallas is because of the opportunity to reunite with Drew Bledsoe, but also the opportunity to play with guys like Keyshawn and Terry Glenn and a young, up-and-coming kid in Patrick Crayton. It takes a lot of pressure off of me so I can just go out there and play. |
I know what happened last year but I always try to look at what's going on this year. I try to see the whole picture and try to figure out with the rest of the staff who we think can make us a better team. I don't know if there's a definite formula of how much of last year counts but it's part of what you do every year. |
I know, I know. He's still enjoying what he's doing; that's the only thing I base it on. If I felt it were more drudgery than normal, or I sensed more frustration, you would ask him back automatically because that's only the proper thing to do, but I sense he's still having fun with it. So we'll certainly talk about it. |
