Bill Guerin Work Quotations

We didn't have much of a choice. We are not going to be in the clear for a while. Sometimes you just gain a lot by stepping back a little. We have to focus on the positive things. We all here believe in good, hard work ethic.

You're not going to miss that many games and then just get your spot back. I have to work and prove myself.

This is not a public-relations stunt. We've put a lot of work into this proposal and this isn't something we came up with overnight. We felt that we had to do something. We're getting down to crunch time and since the league isn't doing anything, we felt like we'd better do something before the whole season goes down the tubes. We've waited long enough for them to try to step up.

It was the mind-set of the whole team to get to the front of the net. We hadn't done it much the first three games. They do a good job of blocking shots. It took hard work and determination from us.

I believe in the guys here, but we've got to really work on the mental aspects of our game. If we want to do well in the playoffs, we're going to have to be better mentally.
