We tried to emphasize some shortcomings we saw in the first two games, … We need to strengthen our running game, be a bit better defensively and be better on special teams. Time will tell.

A lot of people do not understand. We play almost 20 percent of our games for the entire season while on break.

We needed this so bad. We had been so close in so many games, and to finally get over the hump is so big for our confidence.

Every once in a while you have games like this. We’re still a good ball club, and you just have to take the good with the bad.

It was just one of more than 40 games of the season for us and I didn’t get overly nervous at all in the final.

I think it was just one of those nights. Mama always said ‘you’re going to have games like this.’ I just have to swallow it, brush it off and move on.

The daggers of silence last longer than anything ever spoken.

Only.. I want to do die as myself

We’ve played a lot of games against each other, and a playoff series, and lot of guys on their team, and on ours, have played in the other building. Home ice doesn’t mean a thing....

Games like that just happen. Everybody on this team works so hard for everybody else and it just comes naturally. I don’t have to force it. And these guys (his teammates) won’t let me force...

It’s in the past. We have to win two more games.

These kinds of games are always tense.

Steve is a player that can win games in many ways — with his bat, his glove and his knowledge. He will give Felipe many options in the outfield as well as provide great veteran...

I think it sends a bad message when we lose these pre-season games.

Some of our defencemen here in the first couple of games have been just outstanding,

I think just showing up in the next two games, we could mathematically go through.

We’re going to see how he does in games before we make any decisions.

I want to wait to bring those [windmills] out for bigger games, where everyone — the whole nation — is watching.

We’re fine, it’s passed already. Everyone’s going to come in tomorrow and try to win some ball games.

We’ve typically started games slowly and methodically stuck to our game. Everybody is pretty excited to play us. We’ve been resilient.

He has a willingness to do that. That’s what people don’t understand. A lot of guys in this league don’t share the ball, regardless of what happens. And when he’s willing to do that, he...

We were kind of the black eye of the league because players weren’t very disciplined, we weren’t winning many games and nobody’s cared much about Snider hockey.

I haven’t played with a lot of guys like that except in all-star games, and those are just all-star games.

We broke down all our games and, minus two of them, we had a shot to win seven of them. This would be eight. I thought we had a shot to win, but in the...

I really don’t look forward to it. They haven’t won 20 games by accident. But we’ll see what happens.

I’ve got to give Texas credit. The last three games have been against good teams in tough environments. I’m very pleased with our team, we just didn’t execute.

You don’t always want to wait until the ninth inning to win games, but we haven’t had that. That propels us, to know we can win at any time. You don’t want to go into...

Those opportunities to play in championship games are few and far between.

That was a good game — a great game. Maybe it was one of the best games [I’ve had this year].

In big games he has been great this year. He’s been there.

Yeah, I played video games on and off for quite a few years. I played Doom and was a fan of the game and that was my prime reason for doing the film.

We had two bad innings in those games. The first innings really got to us.

The last couple games we were firing goose eggs, and that’s something you don’t want to do going into your elimination game.

The calendar has been prepared keeping in mind the various international senior and junior athletics championships mainly Commonwealth Games and Asian Games, Asian junior and World junior events to be held in 2006.

Hitting free throws is something we have to do to win games. We were kind of upset because we lost the last couple of games by a close margin. We just tried to make sure...

It’s been amazing some of the games we’ve been involved in, it’s never over.

When you don’t have time to do your job, that’s a good indication you’re playing the wrong game.

You can’t expect games to go your way the whole time. When they score you have to slow down their momentum and try to stop the bleeding, keep their offence on the sidelines for a...

You have to perform all the elements to win both games, and we didn’t do that.

It’s going in right now for me. I am just glad to be able to help us win hockey games. Down 3-0 we got the four-minute penalty called against us and our penalty killing did...

I’m a positional player. That means you are a more strategic kind of person who plans and plays slow games.

We go all out for our seniors with a celebration between the games.

I’ll give him a few games at third base, but Troy plays a lot. I think there’s a point just to keep him sharp out there because you never know what happens, somebody could go...

This is not a single-elimination tournament. There are other games to be played.

The opportunity is there. It’s a matter of being able to close the gap and win some games. You’ve got to win the right games.

I’m pretty excited with what I’ve seen. [In all three games,] we hit really well. Defensively, we had just one game in which we didn’t make plays. Also, our pitchers have been dominant. We’re two...

[As for this year,] We won 95 games and put ourselves in position to make a postseason run, … But it didn’t materialize for us.

Thus we have on stage two men, each of whom knows nothing of what he believes the other knows, and to deceive each other reciprocally both speak in allusions, each of the two hoping (in...

He’s just a hard-working blue-collar kid. He started the last eight games. He’s not flashy, but he’s got breakaway speed. He’s the kind of kid coaches like.

This is one of those games, whoever had it last. And I wanted to have it last.
