When we drafted him, people said he was probably the most ready for the NHL, ... But that to me was a bonus. It wasn't something we factored into when we decided to pick him. But he obviously played against men last year and played in the World Championships for the Czech team, and the thing that impressed me when he came in this summer is that he tested like a man in his physical testing. It transfers over to his game on the ice. He's a very mature player.

With the number of countries now that have significant outbreaks of some sort, obviously there is more contact with human beings and that increases the possibility of ... a global human pandemic.

With the no-huddle offense, it helps to have guys that have been on the field and understand the game because we get a lot of last-minute calls and adjustments, and you're constantly reading defenses. That's obviously something that he excels at.

We knew when we came down it was going to be a battle until the end. We obviously didn't get the job done.

We lifted it completely. We decided there were so many exemptions that had been carved out over the years that it was getting harder for a volunteer board to supervise and enforce. We're going to give it a try and see if it affects the campaign. If it conflicts with the campaign, we'll obviously revisit the issue.

We knew they would try and blow the zone, get their guys behind our 'D,' and they just connected. We obviously have to do a better job defending that. Give them credit, but at the same time we gave up too many of those chances.

We knew they were going to come out strong early and we managed to stem the tide. D-Y is a well-coached veteran team that plays with a lot of emotion. Our goalie, Matt Ryan, was obviously a key factor for us.

We'd like to be here when it's all said and done. We'd obviously like to come back and leave it all on this floor.

We believe that if we don't do this, we have provided history with a wrong interpretation of this case. If there are no findings the president's obviously going to win, then the conclusion could very well be that he did nothing wrong, nothing whatsoever wrong,

Yeah. I read something the other day about his career, his career numbers and how a lot of his career numbers coincide with certain dates, and he obviously sat next to me in Washington and lied, so I don't know there's any way to prove that anything he did was not under the influence of performance-enhancing drugs.
