W. S. Gilbert Good Quotations

We came out and had a good first couple of shifts of the game and then we spent the rest of the period in the penalty box. There's nothing like giving the other team momentum when you're putting them on the power play all the time, and obviously the Czechs were able to finish.

It was just another day. Once we got our legs going and didn't panic, we got some good chances.

It's difficult. I went because I wanted him to know that he hurt a lot of people. He took a good man away from us.

I thought we did a pretty good job attacking the basket in the second quarter.

We thought our defensive ends could beat their tackles. We thought they were a little slow, and our ends can run. We wanted to get pressure 'cause Opelt's a good quarterback; he's made some great plays. We just kept everything in front of us, and our defense really rose. They had some key stops. It was a great team effort. I'm really proud of these kids.

We were on our heels early on. A lot of guys were nervous, first time representing their country. It took a little while for them to get into the game. But they started feeling comfortable and once we got things going I thought we had some real good scoring opportunities and did a pretty good job defensively.

He was a pretty good goalie and he's just a sophomore. He had a lot of saves.

We knew they would be pressing us and trying to set the tempo they wanted. We tried everything at the beginning not to allow that. But they're just such a good team that when they decided they wanted to run, they would run.

We aren't planning on 'coffee is good for you' in our advertising, but we felt it was important to level the playing field.

It's his first game back in a month and he looked good out there. He made the first save and did what he had to do.

In the second half of the season, we'd get scored on and we'd get down. In these last eight or so games, we've been good at staying positive. Tonight was a good example of how we respond. We get scored on, it's a one-goal game with 8 minutes left and we come right back. We're relentless. We're never going to stop, all 60 minutes.

It's been pretty devastating. We're trying to lick our wounds and move forward. They're coming back, that's the good news. I hope that we can put things together.

That's a pretty good game, ... He hasn't played since Week 3 of last year. But, we saw, the kid can make plays. That's why we wanted him at quarterback. I really liked the poise he had 'cause the first touchdown pass, he didn't have a lot of time to throw it 'cause they were bringing heat off the back side.

They're as good of players as we have in the area. We've got to grow up right away. We always want to win league and we want to go deep in the playoffs.

I was in a world where I was a beginner at everything. Everyday things that I'd been doing all of my life were all of a sudden things I was new at trying to do and I wasn't good at them, ... The gift of rowing, for me, was that was one thing in my life at that moment that I was competent at.

The brain is big in every sport, ... Andre has become a swollen brain out there. He doesn't go for winners on every ball. That's what Andy is striving to do. That's what we are striving for. He's like a piece of clay right now. I don't think it's good thing at any sport if you're too good at 21 or it's too easy. You have to keep working and keep improving and he can do that. He's 21 and he's getting better.

I imagine doctors can only recommend (lawn bowling) especially as one ages, for one can play into one's 80s and some into the 90 years. Yet with the strategy and need for good eye-hand coordination it also appeals to young people.

It's good learning for us this weekend. It's a tight race down to the end in the WCHA, and it doesn't matter who we're playing or where we're playing. We can't take any game lightly the rest of the year.

If you dig too deep, fill with additional 2A modified stone instead of dirt because it's hard to get good compaction with loose soil.

At this point we're ready for some walls. Windows would be good too.

It was definitely a wake-up call for us. It was good for us to realize that any team can come in and win, that we've got to be ready and we've got to be going all three periods.

I love my fellow creatures -- I do all the good I can -- yet everybody says I'm such a disagreeable man!

Our kids have really accepted their roles, and we've got about as good a team chemistry as I've ever been a part of as a coach or a player.
