We don't have any expectations. Other people see us as No. 1 or whatever, and that's their opinion. The question is: Will the players fall victim to trying to live up to it?

Yeah, it does get old. And I'm sure it gets real old for the goalies. It just creates that much more for them, but that's the nature of the beast. Until you've proven yourself there are going to be those question marks, and hopefully this year is the year that they answer them.

While many commentators question the sustainability of hedge fund fees, we would highlight the long-only retail arena as an area where some fees do not reflect value added for the customer, but rather the distribution capabilities of the product manufacturer,

Whether things are going great or poorly, you have challenges. Challenges when things are going well are a lot more fun, but no less difficult. In our case, there's no question it's not as much fun.

And if you have a good work ethic, you have a chance to fight your way out of it.

We would question the necessity of an expense like that.

We found our legs, we found our game, in the third period. That's what really matters. We got the game-tying goal. The rest of the way, we battled. You could probably put a question mark on the way we came out in this game, but in the third and in overtime our effort was second to none.

We find it disturbing that the networks in question seem to have no problem exploiting gay persons through mindless comedies or titillating dramas, but when it comes to a church's loving welcome of committed gay couples, that's where they draw the line.

There are some question marks and things that need to happen for us, but I like this team.
